Halal Certification
Halal Certification is a process that verifies products are permissible according to Islamic law (Shariah). It ensures that raw materials, processing, packaging, and handling meet the standards required for Muslim consumption. Beyond food and beverages, Halal Certification is also important for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and hospitality services.
With a growing global demand for Halal products—especially in regions like the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe—having a Halal certificate opens up major business opportunities. It reflects ethical sourcing, hygiene, and transparency in your production process.
At Startup Bharat, we help businesses understand and implement Halal standards according to international guidelines such as those set by JAKIM, GAC, or the Halal India Board. We offer complete support—from documentation and audits to staff training and final certification.
Halal Certification not only enhances brand value but also enables access to new markets, builds community trust, and ensures compliance with religious and regulatory expectations.
