The Importance of Using Halal Marks and Logos on Certified Products

At Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust (JUHHT), we are committed to ensuring transparency and authenticity in Halal certification. One of the key aspects of this commitment is the proper use of Halal marks and logos on certified products. While it is not mandatory for all unit packages and outer shipping packages to carry a unique identifier, we strongly encourage our certified clients to adopt this practice.

Why Use Halal Marks and Logos?

1. Consumer Confidence: Displaying the Halal mark on packaging assures consumers that the product has undergone a stringent certification process in accordance with Islamic dietary laws.

2. Market Trust: Retailers and distributors are more likely to stock and promote products that clearly indicate their Halal status, enhancing business opportunities.

3. Regulatory Clarity: Countries and regions with Halal compliance regulations often require clear labeling. Using the Halal mark helps meet these expectations and avoids potential trade barriers.

4. Brand Credibility: A well-marked Halal product differentiates itself from competitors, positioning the brand as a trustworthy choice for Halal-conscious consumers.

How to Use the Halal Logo Correctly

To maintain the credibility of Halal certification, JUHHT advises all certified businesses to follow these guidelines when using the Halal mark and logo:

• Ensure the Halal logo is placed prominently on the primary and secondary packaging of certified products.

• Do not alter or modify the approved Halal logo.

• Avoid using the Halal mark on non-certified products, as this could lead to noncompliance and legal issues.

• Use the Halal logo consistently across all marketing and promotional materials to reinforce brand integrity.

• For bulk shipments, clearly mark outer packaging with a Halal identifier where feasible, making logistics and trade compliance smoother.

JUHHT's Initiative to Promote Awareness

As part of our initiative, JUHHT will regularly publish educational articles and instructions on our website to guide clients on the correct use of Halal marks. Additionally, we will share case studies, industry best practices, and updates on regulatory developments related to Halal labeling. For further assistance or clarification regarding Halal certification and labeling, please visit our website or contact our certification team. By adopting clear and standardized Halal labeling practices, we can collectively enhance the integrity of the Halal market and provide greater assurance to consumers worldwide.
