Halal Issues in Modern-Days

In Islam, the consumption of halal food and using halal consumer products are obligatory in serving Allah. Living in the era of modern science and technology creates halal issues for the modern-day Muslim consumers that were considerably less pervasive previously. In terms of halal food this evolution comes with the introduction of various new additives and ingredients to meet demands for improvement and innovation in food production, for example convenience food, better varieties and flavours to suit different taste buds, methods of food production that can address food safety concerns and so on. This increasingly creates grey areas in Halal as the application of genetic engineering, and the usage of synthetic ingredients and hormones, for example, become more widespread in related industries. Due to these advancements in food technology and biotechnology, Muslims are now more exposed to various ingredients and processed foods that may be of questionable Halal status, particularly in secular or non-Muslim communities and societies.

Different types of food offered in the market often confuse the consumers and it is important to facilitate consumers in purchasing the right food, and especially facilitating Muslim consumers in purchasing food that is fully Shariah compliant, both in terms of its ingredients as well as the way it is produced. It is thus of great importance for the modern-day Muslim to be educated and to be aware of such ‘grey areas’ between Halal and Haram.

As part of the objective to develop the Halal industry in a holistic and orderly manner and drive the sector's growth, Halal Management Services is responsible for the development of Halal Industrial Parks, Halal Retail Parks, Halal Hotels & Tourism. 

The fully accredited Halal International Certification Council is included in this entity to assure that all products and services meet Halal accredited certification standards and compliance.

Halal Certification

The guidelines of Halal certification is derived from exper advise from other long established certification councils and organisations e.g. Malaysia. Halal Certification is the process of having a qualified independent third party supervise the production of consumables, attesting that they were produced in conformity with the preparation and ingredient standards of the halal lifestyle.
