The Halal Standard

The Halal Standard is a set of guidelines that determine how food, especially meat, is prepared and processed to be permissible for Muslims. It ensures animals are slaughtered humanely, without prior stress or injury, and with specific prayers. The standard also prohibits certain ingredients like pork and alcohol. Certification bodies verify compliance, providing consumers with confidence that the products meet religious requirements. Overall, Halal standards promote ethical practices, food safety, and respect for religious beliefs within the food industry.
