Info Showcasing Halal Certified Food

By Karen Meyer


The word halal has been derived from the Quran which is contrasted with haram, which means forbidden. Islamic dietary laws are strict thus should be followed to book, as eating certain foods is considered illegal henceforth forbidden. Food processing companies have provided acceptable foods for the Muslim culture by putting the halal notice on feed especially processed foods. We therefore get to indulge more on the information based on Halal certified food in this editorial.

In general, halal is specifically associated with the dietary laws enshrined in the Islamic doctrines and culture. In Islamic jurisprudence, certain foods as well as drinks are usually regarded to be forbidden, and therefore the term is used to describe those that are regarded to be permissible. Therefore, it is vital to draw a distinction between those that can be allowed in the Islamic jurisprudence, and those that cannot.

There are many companies that have taken up the task of providing products that are halal with the trademark. As much as the foodstuff certification has been disapproved by lobby groups as a way of subsiding a specific religious faith, it has been seeing that such companies are making much more than they did before the certification law.

Agri-biotechnology has brought about genetically modified crops. These crops are also sold in the market and some used to process foodstuffs consequently, some of them maybe considered unfit according to the Islamic laws, as they have been impurely grown or processed. However it is very rare for such occurrences but either way companies are also ensuring the certification is made on such foodstuffs to ensure they are legal for the culture.

An animal slaughtered by a non Muslim, either a Christian or a Jew will be only considered accepted if it was slaughtered by slicing the jugular and appreciating by mentioning that the purpose is of permissible consumption and you are thankful to the God blessings.

Muslims, in essence, must also optimally ensure that all edibles or meals alongside other non-food products such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics are permissible or categorized as Halal. Oftentimes, these items and products usually contain animal by-products as well as other possible ingredients which are not permissible especially for Islamic believers to consume or even use in any way, on their bodies.

The consumption of these accredited diet stuffs has been on the rise especially in Dubai and parts of the Middle East due to the large population of Muslims. It is crystal clear that companies are enjoying huge market benefits regardless of the criticism on the accreditation of the products. The global market for the foodstuffs has a higher growth estimation and it keeps on increasing annually.

It is also important to consider the certification of these products and meals. Worldwide, this meal certification has received massive criticism especially by anti-halal lobbying groups as well as civil societies. Most critics usually argue that this practice usually results in ramifications such as added costs. Nonetheless, Islamic believers still hold that it is a very noble and legal process, as per their cultures.
