Some have told the brand not to "worry" and their products are "yum".Another netizen commented:"Good job, Auntie Anne's. Please do not change the name to support this ridiculous act of certain institution in Malaysia. Things need to change and everyone of us play a part."News broke about a week ago when Malaysian Islamic Development Department’s (JAKIM) rejected Auntie Anne’s application on its halal certification and suggested a rename of its “Pretzel Dog” to “Pretzel Sausage.” This has caused a huge debate in the country especially within its Muslim community.
