California halal certification questions
How long does halal certification take in California?
Three working days from a complete submission. Because the review is document based, California companies are not waiting for an auditor to travel to site.
How much does a halal certificate cost in California?
One flat fee of $497 USD per product, valid for five years, with no annual renewal invoices. An optional Halal Certified directory listing is $47 per month for your whole certified range.
Do you certify California restaurants?
Yes, where no pork or alcohol is served and every meat input already carries a recognised halal certificate. We do not certify slaughterhouses or butchers.
Is the certificate recognised outside California?
Yes. The certificate is issued for the product, carries a verification number buyers can check, and is used for interstate retail listings and export shipments alike.
