CATAMONA's Safe Food Guarantee-Halal Certification

About Halal Verification

According to the latest statistics, Islam has 1.57 billion followers in the world, accounting for more than 23% of the world's population, of which more than 1 billion Muslims live in South Asia and Southeast Asia, so the Islamic verification is mainly in Asia. The so-called "halal", in Arabic, means "legal"; and "halal food certification" means "food certification strictly carried out in accordance with Islamic rules"-from food raw materials to production, processing, handling, transportation, storage and sale, etc., must comply with Islamic teachings in order to be safe for Muslims to eat.

Among the details of Islamic diet, food hygiene is the most important. Countries with a majority Muslim population, such as Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries, must have halal verification when importing food. For Muslims or non-Muslims, as long as there is halal verification LOGO on the product packaging, there will be a certain degree of safety guarantee.

Apply for Halal Certification

Halal certification is usually conducted by local Muslim organizations in cooperation with official and unofficial experts and scholars. This verification is carried out for the products of the enterprise, not for the enterprise itself. For example, Katamona's "full range of products" is verified by the Taiwan Halal Association.
