Agtech Food Manufacturing supports businesses developing and manufacturing halal food, wholefood and nutritional products. Our halal certification through the National Halal Authority (NHA) demonstrates our commitment to meeting the requirements for halal production and processing.
Halal certification considers more than the ingredients in a finished product. It covers the entire manufacturing process, including ingredient sourcing, handling, storage, processing, packaging and distribution.
For businesses supplying Muslim consumers, working with a halal-certified manufacturer is an important part of maintaining compliance and product integrity throughout the supply chain.
At Agtech Food Manufacturing, we provide Australian contract manufacturing solutions for businesses looking to produce halal-certified products.
Halal is an Arabic term meaning permissible or lawful under Islamic law. When applied to food and manufacturing, it refers to products and production processes that comply with Islamic dietary requirements. The National Halal Authority (NHA) is an Australian halal certification organisation that assesses businesses and products against its halal certification requirements. Certification involves reviewing ingredients, manufacturing procedures, handling practices and production facilities to establish that products meet the applicable halal requirements. For food manufacturers, this means considering every stage of production, from the raw materials entering the facility through to the finished product. Key considerations include:
Raw materials, ingredients, additives and processing aids must meet halal requirements. This includes assessing ingredient origins and verifying their suitability for use in halal products.
Production methods, equipment and processing procedures must comply with halal requirements. This includes managing the risk of contamination from non-halal materials.
Equipment, machinery and production areas must be managed to prevent contact with prohibited materials and maintain halal integrity.
Packaging materials and product labelling must meet the relevant halal requirements, including the appropriate use of certification marks and claims.
NHA certification involves site audits and ongoing compliance assessments. Certified businesses must continue to meet the applicable requirements to maintain certification.
For businesses developing products for Muslim consumers, choosing the right manufacturing partner is an important part of product development. Even when individual ingredients are halal, the manufacturing process must also meet the relevant requirements. Working with a halal-certified manufacturer helps businesses manage these requirements throughout production.
There are several benefits for food brands, supplement companies, wholesalers and distributors.
Manufacturing within a halal-certified system helps ensure that ingredients and production processes meet the applicable Islamic dietary requirements.
Working with a halal-certified manufacturer can support the production of eligible halal-certified finished products, subject to ingredient, formulation and product approval requirements.
Documented sourcing, handling and manufacturing procedures provide greater transparency throughout the production process.
Halal certification provides independent verification that approved products and manufacturing activities have been assessed against recognised halal requirements.
Halal certification can help businesses supply Muslim consumers and approach retailers, distributors and markets where halal compliance is required.
