Ingredient Scrutiny: Avoiding Non-Halal Additives

Careful examination of ingredients is key to maintaining your halal certification. Here’s how to ensure your products are free from non-halal additives:

1. Understand Common Non-Halal Additives:

Be aware of ingredients that are commonly considered non-halal, such as:

• Gelatin: Often derived from non-halal or doubtful sources unless specified otherwise.

• Alcohol: Used as a solvent or preservative in many products.

• Animal Enzymes: Frequently used in cheese and other processed foods.

2. Read Labels Thoroughly:

Examine ingredient labels and product specifications closely. Look for any terms that might indicate the presence of non-halal substances.

3. Ask for Documentation:

Request detailed ingredient documentation from your suppliers, including sources and processing methods. Ensure they provide halal certification for critical ingredients.

4. Use Halal-Certified Ingredients:

Whenever possible, source ingredients that are already certified halal. This can simplify your scrutiny process and provide additional assurance.

5. Regularly Review Ingredients:

Keep your ingredient lists updated and review them regularly. This helps to ensure ongoing compliance and quickly addresses any changes or new additions to your product line.

By following these steps, you can effectively avoid non-halal additives and maintain the integrity of your halal-certified products.
