Japanese KitKat Varieties Marked ‘Haram LV2’ On Verification App, Igniting Malaysian Debate

A Threads post warning Malaysian Muslims about the halal status of Japanese KitKat products has garnered nearly 100,000 views, sparking widespread debate about religious dietary compliance and food manufacturing processes.

The post, shared by user @_ju_mira, featured screenshots from the Halal Japan mobile application showing various KitKat flavours—including matcha, yuzu, Tokyo Banana and sakura mochi varieties—all marked with a red “Haram LV2 (Level 2)” designation.

According to the app’s classification system shared in the thread, “Haram LV2” indicates that while the product itself may not contain prohibited ingredients, the production line is contaminated with non-halal animal derivatives.

This differs from “Haram LV1,” which refers to products that directly contain forbidden ingredients such as alcohol, pork or other haram substances.

The app also categorises products into several other levels, including “Halal LV1” for items certified by authorised halal organisations, “Halal LV2” for products free from haram ingredients and made on completely halal production lines, and “Halal LV3” for items produced on shared lines that are properly cleaned before halal production.

The post triggered varied responses from Malaysian Muslims, with some expressing shock at having unknowingly consumed the products.


sos

whatt is this, are we living in MMORPG? Lv1 Lv2 Lv3 LOL

Does these items have Halal certification?

If no , easy right?

Japan is a homogeneous society has huge variety of product SKUs...so many pattern of Kit Kat and Coca Cola for e.g.

M'sia despite being a heterogeneous society only have few variety of Kit Kat and Cola Cola sold. Most just prefer buying that few flavours

for malaysians, everything is basically haram until proven halal

it got so bad, they even ask if a certain fruit is halal or not
bread also they ask halal or not

we are basically way too deep into the rabbit hole until our muslims can't even travel overseas

Congrats muslim

The most fucuk statement I had ever read.

Honestly, when I look at ingredients, I only look for preservatives, biocides and type of sugar used, should I want to check. Otherwise, I just take and pay. Less things to worry and makes life simpler

Haram lvl 1 = Super haram
Haram lvl 2 = More liberal muslim will tutup mata just makan
Halal lvl 1 = Lampu hijau can eat
Halal lvl 2 = Lebih hijau dari hijau
Halal lvl 3 = Hijau paling hijau tak ada lagi hijau dari hijau ini

Seriously a simple halal/non-halal identification should suffice, no need to put rank until like that. Other muslim countries also never heard of such practice
Ini macam Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) punya dream.

Kakaka...haram also got level

Mana punya Islam dia belajar sampai boleh jadi level level macam ni

Ktards semua haram, PuAS semua halal, abis cerita.

tapi warung tepi jalan halal pulak

owai

wtf is this shyt real? Really wanna separate nons classified company?

are we totally lost the plot why the prohibition is there in the 1st place?

Belajar dari kawan baik buat bisnes, likely cut from the same cloth.



p.s. this PPIM video denying GISB relation to Al-Arqam was actually from few years back (2019) before everything blows over,
meaning people already suspected them but PPIM plotek whitewashed it.

Complicit in the kiddy-diddling that happened after that as far as I'm concerned.

Malaysia Muslim best just sit in isolation chamber do nothing.

Don't forget that the air you breath, water you drink, the ground you step on, the wind on your skin is all not certified halal and may come from haram source.

Tak pelik. In this country, Islam pun macam ada kasta. Yang pipit must adhere strictly to religion, yang helang nak rasuah tindas orang pun takpe no one dare to touch.

Just don’t buy imported food. Support local..
