Why it matters

Why Maryland companies get halal certified

Grocery chains, halal distributors and food service buyers serving Maryland ask for documented halal status before a listing is confirmed.

Producers in Baltimore, Columbia and Silver Spring ship interstate and overseas, where halal paperwork is checked at the point of import.

Muslim shoppers across the United States check certification marks on pack before they buy.
