Malaysia Halal Certification Agency

The Malaysia Halal Certification Agency, also known as JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development Malaysia), is a government body responsible for certifying products and services as “halal.” Halal, meaning permissible in Arabic, indicates that the items meet Islamic dietary guidelines. The agency ensures that food, cosmetics, and other products adhere to these standards, including the sourcing of ingredients and production processes. This certification helps Muslim consumers make informed choices in a market where halal products are in growing demand. JAKIM's certification is recognized internationally, promoting trust in halal products from Malaysia.
