Importance of HALAL Certification in Qatar

The population of the country is mainly Muslims and the society expects the business organisation to be Sharia-compliant as therefore Halal food certification is obligatory in organisations operating in the country. Apart from being a legal requirement, Halal certification is an indication of quality, safety, and compliance with standards. Some of the important benefits include better market access, which is crucial in marketing some products not only within Qatar but within other arab league nations as well. Also, it helps to create consumer trust through confidence among the consuming public, especially Muslims. Since it addresses the regulatory requirements, it affirms that organisations adhere to the local and international Halal standards. Also, Halal accreditation services help to gain international acceptance and access to the world's Halal market opportunities.

Who needs to get HALAL Certification in Qatar?

Halal certification is required for many essential industries in Qatar to guarantee the conformity of companies with Islamic standards in various fields. The food and drinks sector entails all hotels, caterers, and food producers who deal with food items like meat, processed foods, cheese, snacks, drinks, and chocolates, among other food products. Pharmaceutical and healthcare businesses also need certification for drugs, food supplements, and healthcare equipment. Likewise, all cosmetic and personal care products, such as body, face, hair, and beauty products, do not contain haram ingredients. Supply chain management also comes into play since products need to be stored and transported in a way that they do not contaminate the rest. Furthermore, the material used in packing that comes into contact with holly halal products must also meet the certification requirements.
