Flavors And Ingredients

Flavors – Natural and Artificial

One of the most crucial components of any food or beverage is, of course, flavor. A powerful sensory technique to identify the ingestion experience is through flavor. This mental signature that might affect how a buyer feels about your goods is determined by their senses of smell and gustation.

About Flavors

Flavors involve intricate formulation, manufacture, and handling procedures that evolve quickly with new technologies. When it comes to halal, flavors face a distinctive set of pressing issues and difficulties. You should be able to quickly grasp the opportunities and difficulties associated with the intersection of halal and flavors after reading this page. We at Ant8s encourage all the people we do business with to 

 

Determining Halal Status 

Several flavors may be classified as halal or haram according to two essential standards:

  • Origin of the deduction
  • Process of extraction or production

The following halal criterion determines whether the aforementioned things qualify:

  • Flavors made using animal derivatives or from haram animal sources would be prohibited (non-halal).
  • It is prohibited to consume flavors that use ethanol in the extraction process if the residuals are more than 5000 parts per million (PPM) (non-halal).
  • Essentially, tastes made from plants would be regarded as halal if their ethanol residuals were less than 5000PPM.

Important: A product having a taste can be deemed contaminated if the flavor is non-halal, hence halal certification of flavors is essential (haram). It would be against FDA labeling rules to declare a product to be halal if it had a haram flavor. If all of a product’s tastes are halal, the product may be regarded as halal if the production method complies with worldwide halal standards and the remaining components or additions are also halal.

 

Halal Certification Value

All supply chain participants benefit when a taste is proven to be halal, as it increases consumer confidence in the company’s products and those of its clients. A flavor that is not halal, on the other hand, would be regarded as a contamination. Therefore, obtaining halal certification is crucial for a business looking to boost consumer confidence in its natural flavor ingredients and ensure that it complies with the dietary restrictions of the world’s 1.9 billion consumers.

A contract manufacturer’s products range from startup products to established international brands. Particularly, contract manufacturers tend to have better cost structures, higher scalability, and more efficient supply chains. This includes being able to handle regulatory requirements and quality assurance, for which the manufacturer may have extensive expertise.

In order to maintain Halal integrity throughout the certification process, working with 3rd party manufacturers poses unique challenges that require teamwork from all stakeholders. As a short summary, this article describes the qualifications for Halal, the certification process, the licensing situation for certifications, and the advantages of Halal certifications.

 

Qualification

Two fundamental elements determine the qualification of a product :

  • The product
  • The production facility

 

The Product

Qualification begins with the product. After gathering documentation and data on the raw materials and ingredients, Ant8s technical team determines whether the product qualifies as halal. 

Among the main criteria for evaluation are:

  1. Residues of Ethanol greater than 5000 parts per million
  2. Derivatives from Animals other than milk and honey

 

The Production Facility

Production Facilities are the second element of qualification. 

The second element of qualification pertains to the production facility. During every step of the process the facility must maintain the integrity of the Halal identity of its products in order to qualify for Halal certification.

To make the certification process as efficient as possible Ant8s integrates with the existing systems of quality such as GMP, NSF or SQF to assess the production facility. So lets say if you are using a GMP protocol for your warehouse there are high chances that they will also meet Halal requirements, thanks to Ant8s seamless integration.  

As you would with nut-free or gluten-free products, you can look at Halal certification for both the product and production facility as an allergen.  To ensure that the facilities are clean, the product ingredients, production methods and cleaning steps are scrutinized. 

Please feel free to apply with no obligations if you want your products qualified at no cost.
