TO BOOST MARKET SHARE, INDUSTRIES NOW SEEK HALAL STAMP Businesses to get their services, products halal certified to make inroads into countries with large Muslim populations. If you thought halal refers to only food, think again. The term, meaning what is permissible under Islamic law, covers virtually any object or even behaviour under Islamic shariah. And businesses have now woken up to the importance of getting their services or products halal in order to make inroads into countries with large Muslim populations. Awareness about halal certification has seen many certification firms and organisations coming up. These include the Halal International Council, International Halal Integrity Alliance, Halal International Authority, Halal Certification Authority International, although many like the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA) has existed for more than three decades. The SAARC countries have set up a SAARC Halal Council, and Over 350 companies in India are certified and among them are Carrefour, the French retail giant, which has already entered the Indian market through its wholesale cash and carry (WC&C), Nirma House, Haldiram Namkeens and Sweets, Goldwinner oil, Fortune Oil, Bacfo Pharmaceuticals, Ambuja Group, Daawat Basmati Rice, Vadilal Ice creams, Fortune Oil, Amrutanjan Balm, PalitaNasiKandar Intl (P) Limited (Malaysian chain of Restaurants). dnaindia/bangalore/1844080/report-to-boost-market-share-industries-now-seek-halal-stamp
