By Karen Meyer


The word halal has been derived from the Quran which is contrasted with haram, which means forbidden. Islamic dietary laws are strict thus should be followed to book, as eating certain foods is considered illegal henceforth forbidden. Food processing companies have provided acceptable foods for the Muslim culture by putting the halal notice on feed especially processed foods. We therefore get to indulge more on the information based on Halal certified food in this editorial.

A number of cuisine processing companies produce recognized certified products which have gained popularity to Muslims residing in Britain and the United States and are offered by retailer outlets, vegetarian cuisines are also acceptable if they do not contain any alcoholic products. A Muslim will only be allowed to consume acceptable cuisines by necessity to prevent starvation or consequential death if there is no acceptable food available. Lobby groups globally have however criticized Halal certification citing added costs in production and it purportedly sidelines other products which have met the set standards but considered as non-halal.

There are many companies that have taken up the task of providing products that are halal with the trademark. As much as the foodstuff certification has been disapproved by lobby groups as a way of subsiding a specific religious faith, it has been seeing that such companies are making much more than they did before the certification law.

Dead animals of the wild, carcasses, dead animals whose cause of death is not known or leftovers preyed on should not be consumed. Any flowing blood should be exhaustively drained and minimum pain should be inflicted to the animal.

It is imperative to note that products that are brought to the market with a genetic factor from a forbidden source such as a pigs genetic material in a soy product is considered impure. Hence, such biotechnology derived nutrients should be from a ratified source to ensure that they are all acceptable in the culture.

Muslims, in essence, must also optimally ensure that all edibles or meals alongside other non-food products such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics are permissible or categorized as Halal. Oftentimes, these items and products usually contain animal by-products as well as other possible ingredients which are not permissible especially for Islamic believers to consume or even use in any way, on their bodies.

The consumption of these accredited diet stuffs has been on the rise especially in Dubai and parts of the Middle East due to the large population of Muslims. It is crystal clear that companies are enjoying huge market benefits regardless of the criticism on the accreditation of the products. The global market for the foodstuffs has a higher growth estimation and it keeps on increasing annually.

In conclusion, acquiring Halal certification is a critical milestone to any food and beverage supplier in Islam speaking nations. Muslims observe highly standardized dietary rules and lifestyles, pork or any pig by products are prohibited and are referred to as Haram.
