About Halal
The term halal (Arabic حلال, also transliterated ḥalāl or halaal) refers to the set of practices allowed by the Muslim religion. The term itself encompasses all kinds of practices, but is commonly associated with acceptable foods according to sharia, or Islamic law. The opposite term, which expresses the prohibited practices, is haraam. For food to be considered Halal, it must conform to the norms of the Koran, the traditions of the Prophet, and the teachings of Islamic lawyers. Halal products not only look at the ingredients that were used in the production, they also have certain requirements in the processing.

The machinery must be in the hygienic-sanitary conditions required to make the production of a Halal product.
