Halal Food Standards

Halal food standards are guidelines based on Islamic principles that ensure food is permissible for Muslims to consume. These standards require animals to be slaughtered humanely with a specific method, invoked by a prayer, ensuring the animal's welfare. Forbidden foods (haram) include pork and alcohol. The processing and handling must prevent contamination with non-halal substances. Certifications from recognized authorities verify compliance, helping consumers confidently identify suitable products. Overall, halal standards promote ethical treatment of animals, cleanliness, and adherence to religious beliefs, fostering trust and respect for cultural practices in food production.
