An outspoken Muslim sheikh has posted a video of himself buying and eating non-halal certified chocolate bars – after companies quietly stopped paying the fees.

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi, from Adelaide, took to Facebook on Tuesday to claim it made no difference to food if it was halal certified or not.

'It tastes better when there's no halal stamp. Because I can still eat it without offending anyone or forcing people to pay for my halal logo. This is the Australian way of life and I'm proud of it,' he said.

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi from Adelaide slammed said chocolate did not need Halal certification

Imam Tawhidi, who has come under fire from hardline Muslims for condemning extremism and Sharia Law, said he would eat the non-halal certified chocolates on camera to prove his point.

'No halal certification here, none of that nonsense here,' he said while picking up a Cherry Ripe chocolate bar.

'Alright let's go buy them and I'll eat them in front of you.

'Cherry Ripe, no halal certification on it but I can still eat it… delicious.'

Halal certification fees charged to food manufacturers fund Islamic schools, mosques and religious activities.

After spruiking the benefits of uncertified chocolate, he told his followers to: 'enjoy your chocolate and live a happy life'

Imam Tawhidi said Australians and Australian companies should not have to pander to Islamic customs.

'I don't need to force people to abide by my Islamic terminologies and my way of life,' he said.

'Because you're not annoying anyone and you're not bothering anyone either.

'So what's all this conversation about, why do we have to annoy people.

'Enjoy your chocolate and live a happy life.'

Imam Tawhidi said Australians and Australian companies should not have to pander to Islamic customs.

Facebook removed the video from Imam Tawhidi's account moments after it was posted.

The Imam shared Facebook's notification of removal with his 44,000 followers claiming 'Facebook supports halal certification'.

Imam Tawhidi posted the video a day after Daily Mail Australia revealed a number of Australian companies were no longer paying to declare their products halal certified.

Nestle, Kellogg's and Sanitarium no longer wanted to pay an Islamic business to declare their products halal.

The video was deleted by Facebook moments after he posted it, Mr Tawhidi claimed

Halal certification is applied to products that contain no pork or alcohol products.

Halal certification has been a controversial subject in Australia, with One Nation party leader Pauline Hanson pushing for a complete overhaul of the system.

Ms Hanson successfully moved a motion in the Senate for the federal cabinet to examine existing halal certification labels.

She wanted the government to explore third-party halal certification and where the money went once it was paid.
