Khalid Sharif at Ummah Foods:

PRESS RELEASE - Tesco launches Halal Chocolates from Ummah Foods

September 2006, Tesco and Ummah Foods are pleased to announce that the new Ummah Orange and Ummah Caramel Chocolate bars are to be trialled in selected stores. The halal milk chocolate bars will be launched in the Bradford, Batley, Slough, Watford and Brent Park stores in the first week of September in time for Ramadan, which this year commences on 24th September.

Explained Khalid Sharif, managing director of Ummah Foods, "Muslim consumers are looking for specific products tailored to meet their religious and community needs. Mainstream supermarkets must embrace and reach out to this growing community which unequivocally defines itself by faith."

The launch will take the availability of these ethnic chocolates beyond that of their current niche marketplace in order to serve the large number of Muslim consumers that shop at Tesco. By listing confectionery from Ummah Foods, Tesco continues to expand its current dynamic halal and ethnic foods’ fixture and broadens its appeal to the multifaceted Muslim market.

Tesco’s ethnic food buyer Jay Popet said "We are very pleased to introduce the Ummah Foods chocolate range into our stores. Not only is it a very good product but it complements our fast growing and diverse halal food range. We understand that the needs of the Muslim consumer are changing and we are committed to meet these evolving demands.”

Ummah Foods prides itself on representing the evolving British Muslim community, which endeavours to amalgamate both its Western and Islamic lifestyles in order to live a peaceful and harmonious life. By commissioning a Muslim artist to fuse graffiti and Arabic for the Orange Creme wrapper, Ummah Foods intends to illustrate its support for the fresh and exciting expression that is undoubtedly materialising from British Muslims.

Continued Sharif, "very few products can cater to Muslim consumers at product level through ingredients, wrapper, charity partnership and corporate philosophy, however Ummah Foods can, and retailers like this a lot."

In line with its aim to support charities, Ummah Foods is using its marketing material for the Tesco launch to support the Muslim Youth Helpline Ramadan Prison Campaign.

Faridha Karim, who is coordinating the campaign said, "The month of Ramadan is the loneliest time of the year for most young Muslims in prison and many need our support. The campaign calls on people to sponsor a gift for the prisoners and asks them to write personal messages of hope". She added, "Although we represent only 3% of the British population we represent over 10% of the prison population. There has to be a serious attempt to reduce the growing number of Muslims going into prison and we very much appreciate Ummah Foods supporting us in addressing this issue."

Concluded Sharif, "It is a great charity with an admirable purpose. I hope we can make a significant difference to such a good cause to dovetail with the growth of the Ummah Foods brand and the company."
