Halal Foods

What Does "Halal" Mean?

HALAL is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permissible.

Muslims, around the world, as part of their religious belief, are extremely concerned that the food they eat and the products they use are "Halal" rejecting anything containing or contaminated with alcohol or pork as "Haram" (not permissible). Towards this end, they often carefully examine the ingredient list of products before buying them. If there is any suspicion of "Haram" ingredients, most Muslims will avoid the purchase of such items. Besides the ingredients, it is also the process of manufacture that makes a particular item "Haram" for Muslims. To help Muslims determine whether a product is "Halal" or otherwise, there are several Islamic organizations across the world that certifies such products.

The critical factors considered, but not necessarily restricted to, in assessing the Halal nature of a product differs from product to product and include:

For Meat Products

· The animal has been slaughtered by Muslims in accordance with the Islamic Shariah (religious guidelines)

· The slaughtered animal as well as its meat has not been contaminated, mixed and/or kept in touch with non-Halal meat during transportation, storage or display etc.

For all other food & non-food products Alcohol and intoxicants have not been used in the preparation and/or storage of the products under certification;

There is no use of pig and/or pig products in the making/preparation of individual products.

As part of its objective to help Muslims of New Zealand as well as around the world, FIANZ undertakes to certify food and non-food items as well as restaurants and eateries as "Halal".
