Integrated Non-GMO
Certification

Q: Do overlapping non-conformances need to be corrected twice?

No. After the audit you receive a unified report with clear labeling of any non-conformances. Shared issues (segregation, sanitation, documentation) only need to be corrected once where applicable.

Q: How do I get a halal certificate for my product?

To obtain a halal certificate, you need to apply through a recognized halal certification body. The process typically involves an application, a review of your manufacturing processes, and compliance with halal standards, followed by inspections and audits.

Q: How do you check if a product is halal certified?

Look for a halal certification mark on the product packaging. You can also check the manufacturer's website or contact their customer service for certification details.

One streamlined dual-certification process: reduce audit time, cost and operational disruption with a single inspection, and satisfy both ethical and clean label demands.

Halal certification allows our customers to trust our product. We switched to AHF because they were globally accepted and nice to work with. They take the time to understand our process and are very responsive when we have questions.

FAQ

What does the integrated Non-GMO + Halal audit cover?

A dual-competent audit team assesses both standards in a single on-site visit: halal compliance (ingredient integrity, contamination control, employee practices) and non-GMO requirements (IP handling, traceability, testing protocols and risk management). Where the standards overlap, the requirement is assessed once.
