What is Halal Certification?
Definition of Halal Certification
Halal certification is a certification issued by an authorized body to organizations and businesses to confirm that their products and services meet the Halal standards of Islam and are permitted for consumption in Muslim markets.
This certification is valid for one year and requires the organization or business to apply for recertification at least one month before the expiration date to avoid the withdrawal of certification and other consequences.
