Overview
What is Halal Certification?
Halal certification confirms that a product — typically food, but also cosmetics and pharmaceuticals — and its ingredients and processes comply with halal requirements. It is issued by recognised halal certification bodies after reviewing your ingredients, sourcing and manufacturing process, usually with an audit.
While it's a voluntary, third-party certification (not a government registration), it's often commercially essential: many importing countries require halal certification for food and related products, and it opens access to Muslim consumers in India and abroad. India has moved toward a more structured framework for halal certification of export products.
We help you understand the requirements, prepare your documentation, and coordinate a recognised halal certification body so your products can be certified.

FAQs
Halal Certification — frequently asked questions
What is halal certification?
Third-party certification that a product and its ingredients and processes meet halal requirements, issued by recognised halal certification bodies after review and usually an audit.
Is halal certification mandatory?
It's voluntary in itself, but often commercially essential — many importing countries require it for food and related products, and buyers may insist on it.
Which products can be halal-certified?
Most commonly food, but also cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. We confirm scope and requirements for your product line.
Who issues halal certificates?
Recognised halal certification bodies — not the government. Choosing a body recognised in your target market matters, and India has a more structured framework for export halal certification.
Does it involve an audit?
Yes — certification typically involves reviewing ingredients, sourcing and process, with an audit of your product/facility before the certificate is issued.
Do I still need an FSSAI licence?
Yes, for food. Halal certification is in addition to your mandatory FSSAI registration/licence, not a replacement.
Does the certificate need renewal?
Yes — halal certificates have validity and surveillance/renewal cycles, which we help you maintain.
