Halal consumers
Halal consumers are individuals who choose products and services that comply with Islamic dietary and lifestyle laws. "Halal" means permissible under Islamic principles, especially regarding food, beverages, and sometimes other aspects like cosmetics or finance. For food, this includes specific slaughtering methods, avoiding prohibited ingredients like pork or alcohol, and ensuring cleanliness. Many Muslims follow these guidelines as part of their faith. Halal consumers seek assurance that products meet these standards, often relying on certification labels. Their choices reflect religious observance, cultural identity, or personal preference for ethically and hygienically prepared items.
