Religiously permissible food can be a little hard to find particularly in countries where the primary faith is different from yours. Whether it is Jewish Kosher food in Japan, Vegetarian Hindu food in Italy or Muslim Halal food in the United Kingdom, finding particular types of food can at times prove to be quite difficult and frustrating for the user. Due to this reason, many an Islamic shop has started carrying Halal food products for the ease of their customer base.
Initially the concept of an Islamic shop was launched to cater to the clothing needs of the expat Muslims, but lately the grocery and other ready to eat food products have gained popularity at various Islamic shops globally. Although there are huge chain grocery stores conveniently located in each and every area of the UK, Muslims opt to travel a bit farther to stock up their kitchens as numerous food items available elsewhere contain ingredients not permissible for consumption in Islam. These ingredients include animal fats, gelatin, pork products and alcohol contents, which are all forbidden in Islam.
