Tom’s of Main is a Certified Halal Product Friday, Jan 9 2009 

We always buy Tom’s of Maine tootpaste, foremost because we know there are no haram (impermissible) ingredients in it- plus it is the best-‘tasting’ toothpaste out of the permissible ones I’ve tried. I just never realized that they are actually certified halal, until just now.

I was doing a search on halal products and came across this link to the Tom’s of Maine website where there is a product certification page. Scroll down and find the IFANCA symbol (crescent with an ‘M’), and a brief description of what halal means.

The site says you can even listen to Tom Chappell, cofounder of the toothpaste, talk about the certification, but that link to the Maine Public Broadcasting Network no longer exists.

Here are some pics from our fall ‘excursion’ to the North Shore (Chicago), along Lake Michigan.

A great example of what can be done to have some quality family time. I would venture to say that in the icy winter chill we’re experiencing now in Chicago, we’d all love to have a crisp autumn day like the one pictured here.
