Halal Certification

Halal food refers to products that are permissible to eat according to strict food safety & dietery measures. This can cover a range of food but, crucially, businesses may not say they are selling 'Halal food' without proper certification.

To be considered Halal, the product must have gone through ingredient checks, facility inspections, among other requirements.

Halal and kosher are not the same, although there are similarities in the auditing process for the two. Both Halal& Kosher rules prohibit similar types of products. However, some aspects of the production process are permissible while others aren't.

Both certifications have their own standards they keey when assessing a manufacturer. Bakell® has worked tirelessly to pass annual audits for both respective agency inspections to attain proper certifications.

Halal Certification is typically provided by Halal certification agencies. Companies must undergo a thorough assessment of their production process, including ingredients used, equipment and machinery, hygiene and sanitation standards, among other compliance metrics.

Only after a business passes a thorough compliance inspection from a specific audit process can the be awarded with full Halal Certification.

There are several organizations that certify halal products in the US, including the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA) and the Halal Food Standards Alliance of America (HFSAA). Organizations like these can educate, train, and inspect companies to be completely Halal compliant.

Bakell® has worked diligently to be a reliable Halal Certified partner for dozens of partners who depend on a consistent flow of food safe product.

Halal-certified products are marked with a halal symbol or logo, which indicates that the product has been certified by a recognized halal certification agency. Consumers can also check the ingredients list to ensure that the product does not contain any prohibited ingredients.
