What is HALAL Certification?

HALAL Certification is a formal recognition that products, ingredients, manufacturing processes, storage, transportation, packaging, and handling comply with Islamic dietary principles and applicable Halal standards.

The word "Halal" means "permissible" or "lawful" under Islamic law.

A certified Halal product gives consumers confidence that it has been produced, processed, packaged, and distributed according to recognized Halal requirements.

Certification is typically issued by accredited Halal certification bodies after a thorough evaluation of products, facilities, documentation, ingredients, suppliers, and manufacturing processes.
