Lets make your Menu Halal

Halal is very simple and easy. As was previously mentioned in many parts of the website, practically any meal can be turned halal. Therefore, you don’t need to break your mold and reinvent yourself as a Halal person/brand/organization/company; just do what you already know. And keep in mind that halal food consists of much more than just chicken, white sauce, and rice. Therefore, don’t put too much effort into revamping your current offerings. You might only need to change a few ingredients and switch to a Halal supplier for your meats in order to become Halal. Let Ant8s be your friend and guide you along as you make a name for yourself in the halal foodservice industry.

In general, you might not have the tools necessary to expose your company to potential Muslim clients. It simply requires understanding what they do and where they do it, as with any population. So, don’t undervalue social media’s influence. If people appreciate you and what you do, they will tweet, post, and remark for everyone to see. In the digital age, “social media” really translates to “word of mouth.” You must develop specific Halal protocols from the outset. In the Muslim community, trust is essential, and if you have it, it will grow. However, if you break it, that will also spread.

Companies can demonstrate trust and inspire confidence by achieving Halal certification.

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.
