Al Nur Truly Halal Services USA can assist you in entering markets in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Middle East, India, Pakistan & more, thanks to Halal certification from Ant’s USA! “The global market revenue of halal food is projected to rise from about 1.25 trillion U.S. dollars in 2016 to about 2.57 trillion dollars in 2024, with the largest share of the market value coming from North America.”

A Halal label demonstrates to Muslim customers that any item being sold is suitable for their consumption. Halal can be used as a marketing strategy in the food service sector to attract Muslim customers. Providing service to the Muslim community could have a significant positive impact on your company. However, before you can capitalize on this dynamic and emerging demographic, specific religious and cultural needs must be met.

As we have just commented, today’s Muslims understand the term Halal as a lifestyle, a global and integral concept that influences and affects everyday issues such as food, hygiene, health, economics, fashion, trade, and tourism. However, the use of the word Halal varies significantly between different Islamic communities.

In Muslim countries, the term is used to describe any practice permissible by Islamic law, having a more limited meaning to the literal, translated as “permissible”. This includes everything related to behavior, language, clothing, manners, and dietary laws.

However, in countries where Arabic is not spoken, the term is in most cases reduced to Islamic food laws, especially in terms of meat and poultry, although it is also used in more general terms.

Certification involves the following steps :

  1. Application :

You are under no cost to apply to ANT^S. During the documentation process, your designated Ant8s account executive will coordinate with the ant8s technical team to document and verify the Halal compliance of your production and the production facility. Upon approval, we will establish a Halal Agreement. 

  1. Audit :

Your Account Executive will arrange for a Halal audit on a day that works for both parties. This audit could be carried out virtually. Employees in charge of Halal production attend a training session during the audit, which usually lasts 4 hours. The main goal of the audit is to ascertain whether and to what extent everything that has been documented is in use. To understand the rules and procedures in place for the Halal program, a staff person from the private label brand must be present during the Halal training for private label applications.

  1. Certification :

Your Halal certification documents will be delivered once the Halal audit has been completed successfully. Congratulations! Now that your facilities and products have received formal Halal certification, they are acknowledged globally. The most recognizable mark of sincerity, authenticity, and wholesomeness in the world will be on your products. In the future, get in touch with your Account Executive to add services or facilities.

  1. Responsibilities and Roles :

To run and maintain an efficient Halal program, there must be excellent cooperation and communication on all levels between the private label brand and manufacturer. The tasks and obligations of each party are listed below in further detail.
