HALAL Certification

HALAL Certification is a process that verifies that products (food, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals) or services comply with Islamic dietary and lifestyle laws (Shariah). It ensures that the product is free from forbidden (Haram) substances—such as pork, alcohol, or non-compliant animal derivatives—and is processed using clean, hygienic methods in a facility that prevents cross-contamination.

It is required for businesses looking to build trust within the Muslim community or expand into international markets. Specifically:

• Exports: Mandatory for exporting food and meat products to many Islamic countries (e.g., UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia).

• Consumer Trust: For brands selling in India to tap into the large domestic Muslim consumer base.

• Industry Standards: For hotels, restaurants, and slaughterhouses that want to officially market their services as "Halal-friendly."

Required Documents

• Business Proof: GST Certificate, PAN Card, and Company Registration.

• Licenses: Valid FSSAI License (for food) or manufacturing license (for non-food).

• Product List: Detailed list of all products for which certification is needed.

• Ingredient Declaration: A comprehensive list of all raw materials, additives, and processing aids, along with their sources.

• Process Flowchart: A step-by-step diagram of the manufacturing or preparation process.

• Supplier Certificates: Halal certificates from your suppliers for any animal-based or critical ingredients.

• Lab Reports: (If requested) Test reports from an authorized lab certifying the absence of pork or alcohol derivatives.
