What You Should Know About Halal Certified Meals

By Stephanie Gray


The Muslims have very strict rules that they all follow. For instance, they are supposed to eat foods that are clean. Hence, these foods must have the ingredients that have been accepted by the Sharia system. To make sure that they are eating clean foods, there should be a form of certification to test the foods. This is however something that has caused a stir in most people. Some people do not accept this certification while others have no problem with it. Below is a brief insight about the Halal certified meals.

Muslims choose the Halal food because the approved meals meet the requirements that make them suitable for their consumption. These rules originate from their Holy Book that prohibits them from taking foods that are unclean. These rules have thus been followed throughout the many generations of the Islamic practices. This is a part of the Sharia system. The Sharia is a system of morals that are used to guide the actions and behaviors of Muslims.

Nevertheless, this remains to be a debatable topic. There are so many people that do not agree with the Sharia system while many more others see no problem with it. A good example is stunning meat. Some ask whether the animal becomes clean when it is stunned before or after being slaughtered. This has raised a topic of debate and people have so many different opinions on the same.

There are three ways that the food is checked or tested and approved. The initial step is inspecting and approving individual products. When this is done, the ingredients as well as process used to produce that particular food becomes clean. This means that you can buy clean and approved items from stores that also sell items that have not been approved.

The second form of certification involves the production facilities. Therefore, all the products that are produced in line with the certification standards can be considered to be lawful and clean. For instance, if butchery has been certified, the meat becomes lawful no matter the final shape. Nevertheless, the meat may end up in the market unlabelled. Thirdly, the retail facilities can also be approved. This makes all the foods in those facilities lawful.

Certification of the foods is critical because the Muslim consumers can decide what to buy. Most food items are now being processed. Without proper labeling, the consumers may never be able to tell the difference between approved and unapproved foods. The certification process is therefore critical.

Additionally, the Muslims have provided a very good market for the approved foods. Therefore, traders are now earning profits just from engaging in the retail of these foods. This has attracted so many traders that are now selling the approved foods in many parts of the world.

These meals can either be certified domestically by local certifiers or can be approved overseas. However, most certifiers are found in Australia. In fact, the Agricultural department has liaised with some Islamic organizations. These are testing and certifying the food before it becomes consumes and imported to other countries all over the globe.
