Halal conception is used in every single part of life .We use that conception for issues about food and industrialized products.
Sharia establishes that issues related to halal and haram shall be subordinated to the Holly Koraan and to the Sunna (Allah’s tradition and orientation).
Everyday we feed ourselves with products that are hiddden in names of difficult interpretation . We shall ask the producers the real composition of the foods, as well the descrimination of their source. Among those foods there are biscuits, cheeses, can food, candies, etc. that can have ilegal ingredients, since ingredients of suine origin till human hair, insects, alcohool, etc.
There are products that for consumers eyes are considered allowed. That is a serious mistake as a halal product can be contaminated by a haram product, due to the utilized ingredients. In our vision, every food and every industrialized products are considered Mashbooh (doubtful) till we can prove their origin and process and call them halal or haram. The mechanisms that form halal system involve since the productive chain till the final result and follow basic requirements, such as the conscient administration of earth and environment, wich includ the use of legal agrotoxin, the treatment of effluents, functional hygiene, equipments, processing with halal products, storage, etc.
Those demands give everybody a great positive impact: the consumers get healthier food and the producers get more clients with a bigger potential of acquisition.
O consumidor deve estar atento aos produtos certificados que tenha em sua embalagem o selo halal de garantia. Deve informar-se se tal instituição existe e se é reconhecida mundialmente para evitar fraudes.
Consumers shall be careful to the certified products that have in their package the halal stamp of guarantee. They shall get informations about the institutions existance and if they are worldly recognized, in order to avoid deceptions. Halal certified and the stamp of guarantee of a credibility institution will make easy the life of the muslim consumer and offer a guarantee in accordance of products rellated to the Islamic jurisdiction.
