FAQ

Typical time from application to certificate is about three weeks. An expedited option is available for firm deadlines such as proposal submittals or pending government contracts. Companies can get halal-certified in as little as 4 weeks under the Expedited Program.
There are no application fees. AHF's technical staff evaluate your products at no cost and with no obligations, and you receive an itemized quote before you commit. Cost depends on the number of products, the number of facilities, and ingredient complexity.
An AHF account executive reviews your products within 48 hours. You receive an itemized quote and a confirmed timeline. Nothing proceeds, and nothing is charged, until you decide.
Yes. Products may be added at any time. Contact your account executive with the details of the additional product, and they will guide you through adding qualifying products to your Halal Product Certificate.
No. Although Jewish dietary laws of kashrut share commonalities with halal, they allow certain ingredients such as alcohol that are strictly forbidden under Islamic law, and the rules governing animal derivatives differ in various aspects.
AHF is the global leader in halal private label certifications. Your account executive will scope certification across your third-party manufacturers through a single program.
