What is Halal?

Halal It is a term in Arabic that means permitted, lawful or legal within Islam. In general, all products are considered Halal, except those that are expressly prohibited by Islamic law (Sharia)These include pork and unauthorized animals, animals that have not been slaughtered properly, toxic substances such as ethanol, contaminated products, or products that pose a health risk.

The Halal market covers much more than food: Includes pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care, cleaning products, packaging materials, pet food, tourism, hospitality, logistics, and modest fashion., all in compliance with certified Halal standards.

Need for Halal Certification

The food industry has transitioned from organic products to processed foods, freshly prepared meals, frozen foods, home-cooked meals, fast food, and even genetically modified products.
This evolutionary process has driven the development of new techniques such as industrial production, canning, freezing, and dehydration, which has generated changes in the natural flavor, color, aroma, and texture of foods.

To compensate for these losses, enzymes and additives such as artificial flavorings, colorings, flavorings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, preservatives, and many other ingredients began to be used.
Since some of these components may contain Haram substances - although they are not always detailed on the label - it is essential to have a competent Halal certifier to conduct thorough audits, detailed assessments, and review processes to verify that there are no ingredients prohibited under Islamic law.
