- Audit or assessment: Where applicable, the manufacturing or service location is assessed against the relevant Halal requirements.
- Corrective actions: Any gaps identified during review or audit are addressed before certification.
- Certification decision: Certification is issued only after the applicable review and decision requirements are completed.
- Ongoing compliance: Renewal, surveillance or change-control requirements are handled according to the applicable certification scheme and scope.

Why Businesses Work With Al-Qalb
Al-Qalb Global Halal Certification Private Limited supports manufacturers, exporters and businesses with a structured Halal certification process focused on documented compliance, traceability and practical market requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all food ingredients automatically Halal?
No. Ingredients and processing aids may require origin and supplier verification, especially where animal-derived or alcohol-related inputs are possible.
Do packaging materials matter?
They can. Product-contact materials, adhesives, coatings or processing aids may need review depending on the product and scheme.
Can contract manufacturers be certified?
Yes, subject to the manufacturing site’s controls, documentation and scope.
What happens when an ingredient changes?
Material changes should be reviewed before use so the certification scope remains accurate.
