What are the other products which require the Halal Certification to gain Muslim consumers' greater confidence? Halal certification is not only limited to food produce. Other products such as non-alcohol beverage, raw materials needed in food processing, pharmaceutical and health care products, traditional herbal products, cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning products, daily consumable products and leather-made products (e.g. shoes, furniture and hand-bag) are examples of things that have to be Halal for Muslim consumption / usage. In addition to that, places like restaurants, hotels, slaughtering houses; packaging and labeling materials are also required to have Halal certification to ensure they are suitable to be visited / used by Muslim consumers. In addition to that, other things like utensils and machines used for food catering and processing must not be contaminated with anything that are considered filthy (Najis) under the Islamic Law.
