Halal in Arabic means “lawful” and the certification certifies that the products, in the agri-food, cosmetics, health, pharmaceutical, financial and insurance sectors, comply with Islamic doctrine. It is therefore a question of quality, supply chain and product certification.
In the food sector, Halal certification guarantees that foods, in addition to complying with Italian and European regulations on hygiene and safety, are prepared according to the rules of sharia law. For example, meat, except pork which is prohibited, must be slaughtered according to a precise ritual and drinks must not contain alcohol.
