Halal certification verifies that a product, service, or process complies with Shariah principles. It ensures goods are made using permissible ingredients, free from alcohol, blood, or other Haram substances. The process also validates slaughtering methods for animal-based food to confirm Halal compliance.
The certification process reviews every stage including processing, packaging, labeling, and traceability to confirm all steps meet the Halal standard.
