The Arabic word halal, which meaning permissible, is used. When a product is certified as Halal, it signifies that it complies with Islamic law and is acceptable or permissible. Products must have been slaughtered in accordance with these laws and come from an acceptable source, such as a cow or chicken, in order to acquire this certification.
Halal Certification is a process that ensures the features and quality of the products in accordance with the standards established by the Islamic Council that allows the use of the imprint "Halal." It primarily applies to meat products as well as other foods including milk, food, and additives.
HALAL certification is an official recognition that a product or service complies with Islamic dietary laws and is permissible for consumption or use by Muslims. It covers food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other consumable goods.
The process typically takes 4-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the product, the documentation required, and the certification body's review process.
HALAL certification is not mandatory in all countries but is essential for businesses targeting Muslim-majority markets or consumers.
HALAL certificates are typically valid for 1-2 years, depending on the certification body. Renewal is required to maintain compliance.
