The Arabic word "halal" denotes something that is permitted or legal under Shari'ah or Islamic Law. Under this law, Muslims are not allowed to consume food that contains pork and pork by-products, blood, alcohol, as well as animals that were improperly slaughtered. The demand for halal-certified food products is continuously growing; even non-Muslims are choosing halal products, as halal certification surpasses mere religious values and has become more of a standard for hygiene and health. A number of studies have also shown that halal-certified products have a very low incidence of food poisoning and contamination cases.
