What does ‘Halal’ and ‘Halal food’ mean?

"Halal" is an Arabic term that, in Islamic contexts, means "lawful, permissible". Muslims are
supposed to live their lives by this concept, with its connotations of cleanliness, integrity and
self-restraint.

By Islamic law, all foods are considered halal, or lawful, except for pork and its by-products,
animals improperly slaughtered or dead before slaughtering, animals slaughtered in the name
of anyone but Allah (God), carnivorous animals, birds of prey, animals without external ears
(some birds and reptiles), blood.

well as lectures are conducted on regular basis to improve the awareness and understanding
level of Halal concept and the Islamic dietary laws and their significance. Our leading position

Certification

Halal Certification has become a necessity nowadays to approach the world-wide

Halal market, because the Muslim customers have become more cognizant of the
food they consume. We not only deliver valuable lectures but also the official
certificates are awarded to the candidates.

Lectures
HCS always drives to share its ocean of knowledge. Our specialists offer their knowledge to
array of international lectures. We also collaborate with schools and universities to share
knowledge about the significant requirements and potentialities of the Halal market.

Training
The Halal status of certified products, a basis for measuring the standard of many products
today, is viable to jeopardy if food technicians and other professionals in the food industry are
not properly trained. Training these professionals is an important precautionary measure and
will in turn, prevent the occurrence of mistakes.

We believe in minimal instances of cross-contamination and assurance on complete traceability

throughout the entire supply chain is mandatory to keep up with the status of certified Halal
foods. Therefore each segment of industrial production, food technicians, and other food-
related professionals must receive proper training as a precautionary measure to avoid such
errors. The Halal certification is keen on avoiding, by all means, the transfer of contaminants
between food products and the tracking of the pattern of transfer or flow by adopting and
analyzing the entire supply chain.

Marketer Access
Our lucrative and staggering network of Halal-certified companies welcomes both small and
large scale companies to find easy access through our exhibitions.
