The hundreds of restaurants and suppliers that sell halal food products in New Jersey get an annual visit from state inspectors to ensure they're following the rules to do just that.
New Jersey adopted the Halal Food Consumer Protection Act in 2000, requiring halal food sellers to disclose information, including whether they sell both halal and non-halal food. It put out a reminder to businesses and consumers last week about the law, which includes fines as high as $10,000 for first-time offenders.
A few hours before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan this week, Ediz Laypan, an investigator with the Division of Consumer Affairs' Office of Consumer Protection, walked into a restaurant in Princeton to see for himself that the establishment was living up to its promises.

I wonder what the fine is for hiring illegal immigrants ?
Just a $10k fine for not following Sharia law. Not like they’ll cut off your hand.

I wonder what halal food tastes like? Is it pretty bland? Does it need garlic salt?
Those provisioners are our guys on the “inside”. We could rid Jersey of Halal Muslims overnight with the right combination of access and...never mind; don’t want to be suspended or banned.

So long as it's not a sanitation issue WHY would the State be involved in this?
Shouldn't it be up to whatever religion to ensure Halal or Kosher?
During my regular visits to Manhattan I run across scores of “halal” food carts.I’d starve before I’d actually stop at one.
My brother was in Dubai. The halal version of bacon is a breakfast meat made of beef. He said it was horrible.
I believe that.
Am sick of reading about muslims... and mexicans; all of the obnoxious pandering the left is so good at. I want my country back.
It’s Ramadan again? How many times a year is Ramadan?
I also wonder how much the local taxpayers are on the hook for this program?
Yes, it should. And that's exactly how it works here in Singapore. All halal certification is administered by an organisation called MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura), and the system is self financing.
