We present a list of products from companies that support the Israeli occupation regime, thus urging Muslims to personally boycott the products of these brands due to their involvement in the occupation of Palestine. For everyday needs, it is recommended to use alternatives to these products that are not related to Israel. Evidence of the companies' involvement is published on the website Boycott.thewitness.news, at the bottom of each company's description (button 'Proof'). The list is not exhaustive and will be updated as information with evidence becomes available.

Shin-Line ice cream meets Halal standards
July 31, 2025
Kazakh Shin-Line ice cream and all the production facilities where it is made now have international certification confirming compliance with Halal requirements. Documents confirming the certification of all Shin-Line production sites in accordance with the international standard GSO 2055.1:2015 have been received.
The company believes that this certificate is of great importance both in terms of product sales in the domestic market and for the export of Kazakhstani ice cream to the markets of Asia and the Middle East, and beyond.
The background of the GSO 2055.1:2015 certification in the world is quite interesting. This is a rather rare case when the desire of manufacturers to obtain certification is due not to the official requirements of governments or consumer associations, but to the common traditions of the countries of the region. Due to the lack of a single official set of internationally approved requirements for Halal products, major Muslim associations at the national and regional levels have developed their own special standards in the field of food production. The developer of the Halal standard for GSO 2055.1:2015 is GCC (GSO), a standardization organization headquartered in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
What gives the manufacturer such a certificate? Speaking of this, it should be noted that if, for example, in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia and other countries of the former USSR region, Halal certification is voluntary, then it is mandatory for the countries of the Arab world. The manufacturer's Halal certificate according to the GSO 2055.1:2015 standard gives him the opportunity to export his food products to the countries of the Persian Gulf - Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait without any difficulties or restrictions. Shin-Line noted that the export of ice cream to the countries of this region will significantly enhance the economic potential of the company.
The certification body that issued the GSO 2055.1:2015 certificate to Shin-Line is Gulf-ICSiS Halal. This reputable international institution has links with various private and public authorities in many countries. The organization has extensive experience in Halal certification of enterprises that export food products to various countries. In Russia, for example, this process is carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and the Russian Export Center.
It is reported that the certification audit of Shin-Line took place in two stages. Based on the results of all the activities carried out, a Halal certificate was issued under the number RR – 323M0060. Employees of various departments of the company participated in the audit, such as production, warehousing, R&D, procurement, quality control, and administration. For all employees, passing such a serious audit is an important experience of this kind. They carefully examined the possible risks and threats to the quality of the product that may arise if Halal requirements are violated. Even a small deviation from the regulations of the standard can lead to serious problems of food quality and safety. According to the company, the Shin-Line team has gained invaluable experience during the audit, which is considered by employees as professional growth.
It is important for a wide range of consumers that Halal–certified food products are high-quality and environmentally friendly products that do not contain any harmful substances or GMOs. It is for this reason that both Muslims and non-Muslims often choose Halal-certified products because they undergo stricter environmental and safety checks.
