What is Halal Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceuticals that adhere to legal requirements and contain chemicals, such as excipients, that are approved by Shariah law. Both prescription and over-the-counter drugs are covered. Several crucial points are

• According to the recommended dosage, it should be safe for ingestion, non-poisonous, and non-hazardous to health
• Do not contain any non-halal or non-Shariah compliant animal parts or animal products that have not been killed in accordance with Islamic law
• Do not include najs
• Do not include any human components or their derivatives that are prohibited by Islamic law.
• The halal items are physically isolated from other non-halal products during preparation, processing, handling, packaging, storage, and distribution

 

What are the benefits of Halal certification

• Consumers, particularly Muslims, are secure in accepting products having the halal certification.
• increase the marketability of products in nations where Muslims or Muslims are the majority (Middle east, Asia pacific, EU and USA)
• Halal claims are supported by the Halal logo, which is a trustworthy, impartial, and authoritative witness

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.
