Build Trust in the Global Market with OIC/SMIIC 1:2019 Halal Food Certification
In the rapidly growing global halal food market, gaining consumer trust and overcoming barriers in international trade are more important than ever. The OIC/SMIIC 1:2019 General Requirements for Halal Food standard, published by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Standards and Metrology Institute for the Islamic Countries (SMIIC), is the most universal and prestigious way to establish this trust.
What Is OIC/SMIIC 1:2019?
OIC/SMIIC 1:2019 is an international standard that guarantees that food products are produced in accordance with Islamic rules throughout the entire supply chain from farm to fork. It covers not only the content of the product but also the hygiene, sanitation and food safety requirements at all stages such as preparation, processing, packaging, storage and transport.
Why Is It Important for Your Business?
Holding an OIC/SMIIC 1:2019 Halal Food Certificate gives your business multi-dimensional strategic advantages:
- Access to Global Markets: Thanks to this standard, which is recognised worldwide and above all in OIC member countries, you increase your export capacity and can enter new markets without facing customs and acceptance barriers.
- Consumer Trust and Loyalty: You guarantee consumers that your products are produced transparently and in full compliance with religious sensitivities, health and hygiene rules.
- Competitive Edge: You differentiate yourself from your competitors in the growing halal market and raise your brand value and prestige.
- System Integration: It integrates seamlessly with your existing food safety and quality management systems such as ISO 22000 and HACCP, increasing your operational efficiency.
