Halal Certification

Halal is a teaching of Islam that means “legal” or “permissible” in Muslim.
For Muslims, it is very important whether foods and beverages are certified according to Halal or not, since all they can eat are ensured to be “Halal”. In order to be as Halal, we must clear the various specific conditions; where we are allowed neither to use animal-derived components and alcohol nor to contain Najis (things or persons regarded as ritually unclean). When we satisfy these strict rules, the Muslim intellectual organization authenticated the foods and beverages as “Halal food and beverages” and this activity is called as “Halal Certification System”. Therefore, when you export foods to Muslim-majority countries, you’re sometimes demanded to submit Halal Certification.
