Halal Seal Of Quality
Requirements for Halal meat products
- The slaughter-house (Abattoir) where the animals are slaughtered ritually
according to the Islamic Law (Zibh) should obtain a Halaal Certificate. This can
be arranged by allowing an Inspector (an Imam or a responsible person from the
local Muslim community) to witness, approve and tag each and every animal
slaughtered for Muslim consumers at the premises.
- All transportation of the Halaal meat must be carried out by a Muslim.
- Non-Halaal meat must not be brought into the premises where Halaal meat is
stored or prepared.
- Halaal meat meals must be prepared in a completely separate area from non
Halaal meals.
- Non-Muslim must not have access to the location of storage of Halaal meat
unless accompanied by a Muslim. This also implies the keys of freezers and
premises where Halaal meat is stored must not be in possession of any non-Muslim
at any time.
- Halaal meat meals must be prepared by Muslims only.
- All the preparation, processing and manufacturing equipment (e.g. cutting
equipment, mixing equipment, containers, utensils and other related equipment)
must be free from non Halaal products.
- All Halaal meat meals must be served in a separate container / package
from that of non Halaal meals.
- Halaal meat meals must be transported by a Muslim only.
- All Halaal meat meals must be served by a Muslim only.
- Any pre-processing carried out on the Halaal meat must meet all of the
above conditions.
For many of our customers, Halal food requirements and procedures are commonly understood, however,
for some of our friends not as well versed, we would like to take a moment to explain.
The word Halal literally means "permissible or lawful." The opposite of "Halal" is "Haram,"
meaning "not permissible or prohibited." Similar in concept to kosher foods consumed by those of the
Jewish faith, in Islam, Muslims consume foods that are Halal. Meats are not the only items to be considered Halal or Haram.
Companies must also consider the issue of whether food product derivatives and ingredients are produced with
alcohol or ingredients of non-Halal animal origin. It is crucial that companies comply with
USA Halal food laws and the laws of countries requiring products to be of Halal origin, certified Halal,
and bearing the correct do*****entation from a reputable company in the Halal food industry.
