Halal Certification

What Is Halal

Halal, an Arabic term, encompasses what is permissible, lawful, and sanctioned in Islam. It includes all facets of life, except those prohibited as Haram under Shariah law, such as pork, non-Halal animals, carrion, improperly slaughtered animals, ethanol, intoxicants, and contaminated or hazardous food. The Halal market is extensive, spanning various sectors, including food products and services, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, cleaning agents, packaging materials, animal and poultry feed, hospitality and tourism, modest clothing, and logistics.

The Need of HALAL CERTIFICATION

The food industry has evolved from Organic to Processed, Freshly prepared to Frozen, Home Cooked to Fast Food, and now to Genetically Modified Foods.

This shift has prompted the development of innovative production methods, such as canning, freezing, and dehydration techniques, leading to changes in the natural flavors, aromas, colors, and texture of food. To compensate for these alterations, various enzymes and additives, including Flavorings, Aromas, Colorants, Emulsifiers, Stabilizers, Preservatives, and numerous other additives, have been introduced.

As these additives may potentially contain combinations of Haram substances not explicitly listed in the ingredients, there arises a pressing need for a proficient Halal Certifier to conduct a meticulous audit, evaluation, and review process to ensure that these products are devoid of any Haram ingredients.
URS provides Halal Certification via ENAS and GAC Accredited Halal Certification Body. The Halal Certification Body is full owner of the Halal Scheme and the certification body will be solely responsible for compliance of the certification regulations.
