Countries across the globe, Muslim and
non-Muslim alike, have boosted income from food exports by joining a growing
consumer market force particularly Muslim and those who needs extra guarantees
on food safety and quality products. Introducing a halal standard in 2004,
Malaysia has managed to secure a market share of billions worldwide. Seeing the
potential, even non-Muslim countries have started to take important steps to
produce food and non-food in conformity with the standard. The halal standard
does not cover just food. It also has rules regarding the transporting,
packaging, labeling and logistics of foods; preparation procedures are also
analyzed to ensure their accordance with halal standards, HACCP, GMP and
other recognized safety/quality standards and compliance. These standards are
applied to food processing plant, hotel operations, pharmacies, cosmetics,
medical and many other businesses.The growth of Halal food market represents a significant potential for international companies, not only in Muslim countries but also, in western markets with significant and growing Muslim populations among whom Halal observance is on the increase.
The concept of halal is not confined to food itself. Halal products and services also include cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, clothing, financial services, and even tour packages. With so many to offer, the trade in halal products and services could potentially hit trillions of US dollars annually.

Internationally, Halal certification is currently carried out by a
large number of certification bodies throughout the world with multiple,
overlapping and inconsistent requirements. Information shared at the recent
World Halal Forum 2007 in Malaysia described problems in the certification of
Halal products as the key issue in the development of the world market for
Halal foods. There are an ever growing number of certification bodies,
differing standards and open challenges to competing standards in the name of
business gains, not quality assurance. Discussions during the World Halal Forum
presented a wide variety of views on certification, especially regarding
certification of slaughter practices and facilities.
- Prohibition of
stunning
- Prohibition of
mechanical slaughtering
- Humane treatment
of animals required before and during slaughter
- Prohibition of
cannibalistic feeding practices
- Islamic financing required
