‘Pretzel dog’ raises hackles

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Islamic Development Department’s (Jakim) recommendation for Auntie Anne’s to rename its “pretzel dog” has stirred an Internet debate among Malaysians.

Netizens reacted with both humour and support for Auntie Anne’s after it was revealed that among the reasons its halal certification was held up was due to an item called the “pretzel dog” on the menu.
