... But, I Have a Question?

世世世世世世世

  • Isn’t Halal so simple; just avoid Alcohol and Pork, why do we need Halal Certification?


    Yes, it’s simple for Muslims to decide whether the food is Halal or Haram, if they know the ingredient and the process in which the food and the raw material is prepared. Which is not the case due to complex business practices. International supply chains complicate food processing techniques, different regulations of labeling and declaration of ingredients in different countries, all make it difficult for Muslim consumers to decide just based on the label of the product. The horsemeat scandal which erupted in UK in 2013 is a practical example of how complicated and tricky the food products can be.
    For example, even beef, which is normally a Halal meat for all Muslims, can be Haram depending on factors like the cow’s dietary system or the method of slaughter.For further details about Halal food and the Halal market kindly feel free to contact EHC.
