AHF reviews raw materials and ingredients, then confirms the plant has protocols that protect halal identity at every stage.
The facility must have protocols and standard operating procedures that keep the halal identity of the product intact at every stage of the process.
AHF looks to integrate with existing quality systems such as GMP, NSF, or SQF so certification stays as efficient as possible. A GMP protocol already in place for warehousing, for example, will likely meet the halal standard.
The easiest way to look at halal certification for the product and the facility is to view halal as an allergen, as you would with a nut-free or gluten-free product. Ingredients, production methods, and cleaning steps are scrutinized to prevent contamination.
For private label applications, a staff member of the private label brand must be present during the halal training to understand the protocols and procedures in place.
Working with a third-party manufacturer requires teamwork from all stakeholders so halal integrity is maintained. The private label brand and the manufacturer both have defined roles in the program.
Halal certification is one of the highest return on investment allocations a brand can make. For these consumers, the halal status of a product is the number one factor guiding choice.

Contract manufacturers make products that run the gamut from startups to established internationally recognized brands. A contract manufacturer may yield better cost structures, higher scalability, better supply chain efficiency, and consistent quality, along with wide-ranging know-how in handling regulatory requirements and quality assurance.
When it comes to halal certification, working with a third-party manufacturer requires all stakeholders' teamwork so that halal integrity is maintained throughout the process.
