GIVE YOUR PRODUCT THE GLOBAL REACH IT DESERVES, HAVE IT CERTIFIED

HALAL!

International Halal Certifying Bodies /Auditors Training in Santika Convention Center , Bogor,Indonesia last October 27 to November 5, 2015

Halal products are food and non-food item that it is clean, healthy and of good quality. It must have been prepared, processed, stored, transported and served under the strict observance to Halal Standard. It must not be contaminated with haram and has no ingredients or components that are not allowed by Shari’ah law to be consumed. Halal standard is in conformity with codex alimentarius and the basic food safety management or GMP/ HACCP. 

 

The only difference is in matters concerning hygiene and sanitation. Cleanliness in Islam is broader as it gives emphasis not only to the ordinary meaning of cleanliness but also to non contamination with haram elements such as pork and alcohol. A halal certified product does not necessarily mean that it is for Muslim consumption only. A product that is fit for Muslim consumption is definitely fit for human consumption. But a product that is fit for human consumption does not necessarily mean that it is fit for Muslim consumption. Halal is an Arabic term which means lawful or permitted. The opposite of Halal is Haram. Halalness of a particular product is governed by Islamic dietary principle that is found in the glorious Qur’an and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBH). It is an Islamic teaching that no prayers will be heard by Almighty Allah for forty days for one who knowingly consumed or use haram products. If he dies within this period, he may not be allowed to enter heaven( Jannah).

A halal certified product has an economic value. It provides an increase in sales because it attracts Muslim Consumers and penetrates Islamic Markets worldwide. Halal consumers are now a dominant global market because the demand for halal products has been growing in tandem with the increase in Muslim population. Muslim countries will be the major contributors of the population growth and consequently will become an increasing halal food and non-food consumers. The global halal trade is estimated to be around 150 billion dollars a year and increasing. There are around 1.5 billion Muslim consumers in 112 countries. Apart from the 70 countries where Muslims are in absolute majority, there are some countries where Muslim population is second in number and are heavily concentrated. For instance, India with an estimated population of 952 million has more Muslim population than any other country except Indonesia. China has a Muslim population of 100 million. Muslim population can also be found in other non-Muslim countries like Russia, USA, France and Germany. The European Union with a total Muslim population of 17 million will command about 225 million dollars of halal food per annum. The ASEAN market, with a Muslim population of 261 million, will command about 51 billion dollars of the global halal market by the year 2010. In the Philippines, the market of Filipino-Muslim consumers is roughly 12 million and has long been overlooked.

This is the HALAL MARKETING  LOGO of HDIP implemented last February 18, 2010  

In a joint resolution adopted by recognized halal certifying bodies in the Philippines,  a halal logo was designed to be used in halal labels of products certified as halal. The objective of this resolution was for the purpose of identification and uniformity in order not to confuse the consuming public with the various halal logos appearing  in product labels in the market.  A product bearing the the above halal logo is guaranteed to have fully complied with the halal standards.
