About GHC

Global Halal Certificate exists to remove the delay.

Companies lose listings and shipments waiting months for halal paperwork. GHC was built to give producers a rigorous, verifiable certificate in days rather than quarters.

How we assess

Our review team works through your product's full declaration, line by line. Animal derivatives, alcohol-based carriers, enzymes, gelatin, emulsifiers, flavourings and processing aids each get checked against GHC halal criteria. Where an input is unclear, we request a supplier statement rather than guessing.

If something blocks certification, we tell you what it is and what an acceptable substitute looks like, so you can reformulate and come back.

Principles

What we hold ourselves to

Documentation over theatre

We assess what actually determines halal status: ingredients, processing aids, carriers, solvents and supplier provenance. No padded audit schedules.

One fee, five years

Certification should not be a subscription trap. You pay once and your certificate stands for five years unless your formulation changes.

Clear scope, stated openly

We certify formulations and finished products. We do not certify slaughter, and we say so on every page rather than burying it in terms.

Verifiable by your buyers

Every certificate carries a number your customers can check, so your compliance pack holds up under scrutiny.

Who we work with

Certified companies across categories

Food & drink manufacturers

Own-label and branded producers who need a certificate on file before a retailer or distributor will list them.

Cosmetics & personal care brands

Brands proving that formulations are free from alcohol and animal-derived ingredients for Muslim consumers.

Pharma & supplement companies

Manufacturers exporting vitamins, capsules and OTC medicines into halal-regulated markets.

Household & cleaning suppliers

Private-label suppliers whose buyers ask for halal documentation as part of tender packs.

Exporters & distributors

Companies shipping into the Gulf, Southeast Asia and North Africa where halal status is checked at the border.

Restaurant groups

Alcohol-free and pork-free venues that want a verifiable certificate on the door, not a homemade sign.
