Halal certification is not just a label—it’s a vital requirement for meat exports to the Middle East. At Hawks Merchants, we ensure that every cut of meat we supply meets the strictest halal standards. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Halal?

Halal means “permissible” in Arabic. For meat to be considered halal, it must be processed in accordance with Islamic law, including:

• The animal must be healthy at the time of slaughter.

• A prayer must be recited during the process.

• The blood must be fully drained.

Who Certifies Halal Meat?

Authorities such as JAKIM (Malaysia), GSO (Gulf Standardization Organization), and local religious boards inspect and certify meat products. Hawks Merchants works exclusively with accredited certifiers to ensure full compliance.

Why It Matters

Halal meat is not only a religious requirement; it’s a matter of trust and quality assurance for consumers. Our clients choose Hawks Merchants because we deliver halal meat that meets both ethical and hygienic standards.

Conclusion

Understanding and adhering to halal certification is crucial for success in the Middle Eastern market. Hawks Merchants provides exporters with peace of mind, ensuring your products are accepted and respected across the region.
