SEOUL, March 22 (Korea Bizwire) — Ourhome, a Korean food services company, and an official sponsor of the Gwangju Summer Universiad, will be providing Halal lunch boxes and buffets for Universiad participants, said the company on March 20. Ourhome is currently establishing a Halal production line at its Ansan factory.
Ourhome will also establish a Halal food section at the company’s Incheon International Airport food court, which is scheduled to open in September.

Some Kosher food would also be nice. Not as large of a demand, but its also extremely difficult for observant Jews to visit Korea.
Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist and Hindus are forbidden to touch Halal offerings?
At best Halal Certification is a parasitic scam making food untouchable by observant Christians when it is produced.
Q: How did Moslems make food “Halal” before certification?
A: A Muslim can easily make any food halal (permissible) by praying over it (simply by pronouncing ‘bismillah’ over their meal), just as observant Christians say grace.
