Halal Certification
Halal is an Arabic term meaning “lawful or permissible” and it does not only encompass food and drink, but many matters of daily life. When it comes to Halal food, most people think of meat products. However, the term “Halal” covers food products in general and especially processed food products . The term also refers to pharmaceuticals and a range of products.
The market for Halal products is growing rapidly and exerts great influence on the general public worldwide, covering a wide range of edible and non-edible products, which concern many productive and non-productive sectors of the global economy. Such indicative sectors are pharmaceuticals, logistics, tourism, food and catering, cosmetics, healthcare and many other consumer and non-consumer products.
A Halal certification system is based on the following principles:
- Corporate vision and responsibility
- Hygiene system
- Traceability of product from the first stage of production / processing to consumer’s table
- Risk assessment
- Marking
- Continuous monitoring and improvement
These principles apply to all international standards on food safety, thus enabling an organization to be certified at the same time for all of them.
A Halal products/services chain certified by recognized and Accredited Halal Certification Bodies will support local and export markets for the producers of all types of food in Muslim & non-Muslim communities in Asia, the Middle East and worldwide.
