Halal certification helps compliant companies gain access to nearly a quarter of the world’s population. Halal is an Arabic word which simply means ‘permissible’. In today’s world Halal products are becoming more and more popular, as people are coming to know about its benefits.
Whether you want to capture the domestic or global Halal market of 1.6 billion consumers, you will need to obtain Halal certification from an internationally recognized organization like HMCA. Halal certifiers in the Canada are many, but few are internationally recognized and even fewer have HMCA’s level of service and support.

Back in the day, when Muslim consumers wanted Halal meats, some would find a farmer who would allow them to slaughter their own meat or seek other viable alternatives when Halal meat was not readily available.
Times have changed. In response, HMCA began inspecting and certifying facilities, processes and ingredients of companies in the food sector and other sectors like pharmaceuticals, health and beauty. Halal certification by reputable bodies took the guesswork out of complying with Islamic requirements.
Becoming Halal compliant is essential if companies wish to enter and prosper in emerging Halal consumer-based market countries. Knowing which Halal certifier to work with and build a relationship is a critical step in this process and it is very important that the certifier is known and recognized by foreign regulatory agencies. Rest assured, HMCA can certify all consumable and non-consumable products that comply with global Halal standards
