FAQ

Can AHF combine halal certification with other audits?

Certainly- AHF can now support integrated audits that combine halal with certifications like Gluten-Free, Vegan, GMP and Non-GMO, saving you time, cost, and operational disruption. An integrated audit would mean acquiring multiple certifications in a single audit.

What types of iHerb products can be halal certified?

Supplements, herbal products, functional foods, skincare, personal care, and other ingestible or topical wellness products can be certified, provided the ingredients and manufacturing process meet halal requirements.

Can my brand be certified if I use a contract manufacturer?

Yes. We work directly with your manufacturing facility to review their halal status. If the facility is already halal certified, we complete a documentation-based review. If not, we schedule a halal audit.

How long does the halal certification process take?

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of your formulation and the readiness of your documentation. Most iHerb-focused certifications are completed within 4-6 weeks.

Is your halal certificate recognized internationally?

Yes. American Halal Foundation issues certificates that are recognized for global distribution and support market access in regions such as Southeast Asia and the GCC.

Can I use the halal logo on my iHerb product listing?

After certification approval, your brand will be authorized to use the AHF halal logo in accordance with our labeling guidelines.
