Islamic Inspection Service - SIILHalal

Halal is not the same as Kosher or Organic, though they share some similar principles.

➡ Halal follows Islamic law (Sharia) as outlined in the Qur’an, while Kosher comes from the Jewish dietary rules in the Torah. Organic, meanwhile, is based on farming practices and excludes synthetic chemicals — it doesn’t relate to religious principles.

Both Halal and Kosher define permitted foods, require ritual slaughter, and prohibit pork, blood, and certain animals. They also require that slaughter is done by a person of faith, ensuring a humane and respectful process.

🍎 Whole plant-based foods like grains, fruits, and vegetables are generally Halal and Kosher.
🌿 Organic products can be Halal-certified if they meet Islamic dietary requirements.

Understanding the distinctions helps consumers and businesses make informed and aligned choices — spiritually, ethically, and nutritionally.
