Non-halal claims on Tabasco, HP sauce untrue

HJ Heinz and McIhenny Company are the brand owners for HP pavilion dv1000 Battery Sauce and Tabasco respectively. The brand owners would like to summarily refute recent claims that both these brands are not halal-certified.

We would like to assure Malaysian consumers, particularly our valued Muslim consumers that HP pavilion dv8000 battery Sauce & Tabasco are in full compliance of regulatory guidelines by their respective halal certified bodies.

HP Sauce is certified halal by HAC (Halal Audit Company), which is an Islamic certification authority in the Netherlands, where the factory is located. On the same note, HP pavilion zv5000 series Battery sauce manufacturer, Heinz, has done tests for traces of pig DNA and has submitted the test results to Jakim. No traces of pig DNA was found.

Heinz reassures that the usage of their raw materials and manufacturing processes in the supply chain adheres to guidelines set by HAC.

Tabasco is also certified halal by Infanca (The Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America), which is an Islamic authority in the United States. Infanca has also been accredited by Jakim to certify products on behalf of Jakim.

The brands view this matter very seriously, and the Agricultural Division of the Embassy of the United States of America has been duly notified. The brand owners would also like to reiterate that both HP pavilion zv6000 series battery Sauce & Tabasco are sold in numerous markets including the Middle East and in Indonesia.

Tabasco Sauce has been selling for more than 180 years and the key success for them is the fact that only natural ingredients are used hence Tabasco does not contain any animal by-product at all. In fact, its ingredients consist of just pepper, salt and vinegar.

As a leading international food and nutrition company, Heinz has a responsibility to ensure that it operates in respect of cultural, ethnic, religious, political and philosophical differences in each market that it does its business.

Therefore, Heinz's interest in halal issues is borne out of social responsibility to its Muslim customers and consumers. The halal certification for HP Sauce is a non-negotiable priority for the company.

Happy 100th. Birthday IBM!

This week on Thursday (June 16, 2011), IBM will celebrate its centennial birthday. How many companies in the US are of that age of 100 years? Very few.

I have to write this because like many thousand folks, I spent the early part of my career as an employee of Ibm Thinkpad z61e battery in two countries. First five years in Canada followed by next eleven years in the USA. During my sixteen years of work at IBM (mostly in software development labs), I had the opportunity to interact with many colleagues and many customers worldwide. It is indeed a remarkable company! During my days at IBM from 1975 till 1992, I observed first hand the values of the company which begins with “respect for the individual” as the first principle. One respects IBM more when working for other companies often less mature and treating employees like disposable commodities.

I left before the worse time Ibm Thinkpad r60e Series battery faced at the end of 1992 when its business suffered and the CEO had to let go. Under a new leader Lou Gerstner, IBM got back its mojo again and under the current CEO, it has revitalized itself to the new challenges of the market. It has focused on solving the real-world problems as evidenced by its focus on four areas: Cloud Computing, Growth Markets (BRIC countries), Business Analytics, and Smarter Planet. For example, IBM expects 30% of revenue to come from the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries in 2015, compared to 21% in 2010. It has been aggressively pushing solutions in Cloud Computing via products and architectures. The strong services organization delivers such solutions to global clients. Its EPS is forecast to grow 12% through 2015, which is quite remarkable. At the same time, when you see valuations of start-ups like Groupon or Facebook, Ibm Thinkpad z61p battery’s P/E is a mere 13.8 after a dividend yield of 1.8%. Yes, it is a stock to own for next 100 years!

Contrast that to so many companies (much younger in age) who have come and gone or struggling. Here are three companies: IBM-compatible PC maker Compaq, Networking pioneer 3Com, and IT outsourcing company EDS. What is common across these three? They are all owned by HP now, which is struggling and its stock is not doing very well, just like yesterday’s high-flyer  Cisco. Microsoft has lost its glow with its poor show in cloud computing and mobile platforms.

IBM thinkpad t40p Battery has out-shined all by re-inventing itself. Its management rank should be the envy of any large company.Sam Palmisano has multiple choices to pick from inside IBM as his successor.

Well done and happy birthday IBM.
