‘Halal’ is an Arabic word meaning ‘permissible’ or ‘lawful.’ In the context of food and products, it refers to items that comply with specific dietary laws, ensuring they are prepared, processed, and handled according to specific guidelines.

A Halal-certified store ensures that all its products meet Halal standards. This means the store sources Halal ingredients, follows strict hygiene practices, and avoids cross-contamination with non-Halal items. Certification is granted by an official Halal authority.

Halal certification provides assurance to customers that products comply with specific dietary requirements. It also promotes inclusivity by catering to a diverse customer base.

Absolutely! Halal stores welcome all customers. Many people prefer Halal products due to their quality, ethical sourcing, and strict hygiene practices.

Some Halal-certified stores do offer vegetarian and vegan products, as these do not contain meat. However, Halal certification specifically ensures that any meat products meet specific dietary laws.

Look for official Halal certification labels on packaging or signage in-store. If you’re unsure, ask store staff for more information.
