What is Halal certification and what is it for?

Halal certification is a guarantee of quality and compliance with food rules based on Islamic dietary law. This certificate guarantees that products have been produced in accordance with the precepts of sharia, the rules governing food in Islam. This covers the selection of ingredients, the processing methods and even the utensils used in preparation.

What is Halal certification for?

• It guarantees religious compliance: it is essential for Muslim communities that follow a Halal diet, allowing them to consume products with complete confidence.
• It ensures quality and purity: Halal-certified products undergo strict hygiene and quality controls, which makes them attractive to consumers looking for safe food.
• It opens up markets: companies that obtain this certificate can reach international markets and consumers who, without being Muslim, prefer products with quality certifications.
• Greater transparency: Halal products must clearly state their ingredients and production processes, which helps consumers with allergies or specific dietary preferences.

But what does the word “Halal” mean?

The word “Halal” comes from Arabic and means “lawful” or “permitted”. In the context of food, it refers to the foods permitted by the Quran and to preparation processes that must meet strict standards of purity and hygiene.

How is Halal certification obtained?

For a product to be certified as Halal, a certification agency supervises its production and confirms that it complies with all the rules. The process involves:

• Review of ingredients and suppliers
• Inspection of the production facilities
• Ongoing monitoring by a Halal supervisor
