Halal Food Certification
We certify that your production processes, from raw material to end product, meet halal food requirements.
Halal food certification is independent verification that raw materials, additives, production, storage and shipment are handled in line with halal requirements.
The certificate strengthens consumer trust at home and gives you a clear competitive advantage when exporting to countries that require halal certification. Our audits also take a holistic view of hygiene and food safety requirements.
What is assessed during the audit?
Raw materials and suppliers
The origin and halal compliance documents of all raw materials and additives used are reviewed.
Production and equipment
Segregation, cleaning and control practices that prevent cross-contamination on production lines are assessed.
Storage and shipment
We check that halal integrity is maintained during storage, labelling and transport.
Documentation and traceability
Traceability records from raw material to end product and staff training are reviewed.

Frequently asked questions
Does the halal certificate cover all our products?
The certificate covers the products stated in the application and assessed during the audit. New products can be added through a scope extension.
Is the process easier if we already hold ISO 22000?
Yes. An existing food safety system, traceability and hygiene records provide a strong foundation for the halal audit.
What should we do if our raw material supplier changes?
The new supplier's halal compliance documents must be assessed and your records updated; this is checked during surveillance audits.
