The Role of Halaal Authorities

These Halaal authorities perform several crucial functions:

Inspecting food production facilities to ensure compliance with Halaal standards
Certifying products and services as Halaal
Educating consumers and businesses about Halaal requirements
Conducting regular audits to maintain certification standards
Investigating complaints about potentially non-Halaal products

For businesses looking to obtain Halaal certification or consumers seeking information about Halaal products, it’s recommended to contact these authorities directly. They can provide detailed guidance on the certification process, requirements, and verification of Halaal status for specific products or services.
