Halal - what is it?

Nowadays, preferences are increasingly being given to healthy eating, playing sports and giving up various kinds of fast food. When in all supermarkets counters are literally filled up with not always useful delicacies, in shops "Halal", production of which meets special requirements, this you will not meet. This name, which has become practically a sign of quality in many countries, is increasingly found in Russia and other "non-Muslim" countries.

Approved products

Halal - what is it and what does it eat? It is universally known that Muslims pay special attention to their food. This is dictated not so much by the love for a healthy diet for the preservation of the figure or the normalization of life as a whole, but rather by religious tendencies. Buyers in Halal stores are sure that they only buy high-quality products manufactured using special technologies and not containing harmful substances, as well as components prohibited by the Koran. For example, when harvesting halal meat, special methods are used to slaughter livestock, almost complete removal of blood and compliance with hygiene rules and norms.

Is it meat only?

Not many people know what kind of products are sold under the sign "Halal" (that it is not only meat). There are also confectionery, sausage, and poultry, and much more. If you leave the gastronomic industry, then such goods can also include clothing, cosmetics, perfumes. And this is not all. When buying, sold under this sign, or using a service, the buyer can be sure that he acts according to the laws of Islam. Because "Halal" is not just a commercial brand. It's literally a title. And to get it, you need to pass the procedure for confirming compliance with certain requirements set by the standard of the Council of Muftis of Russia. The survey is held at the International Certification Center "Halal".

Events

One of the most important events in this sphere - the exhibition "Halal-2013" in Moscow - was organized already for the fourth time. The event was held from June 13 to June 16 at the All-Russian Exhibition Center and united over 140 companies manufacturing and supplying Halal products. What it was for the event, you can find out on the official website. The fifth Moscow exhibition will be held in June 2014. This event is perhaps the best way to declare yourself as a supplier of halal products.

In addition, the First Russian Halal Summit began its work. Within its framework in June this year, a conference on international achievements in this industry was held. The event was held in St. Petersburg and was marked by the arrival of many Russian and foreign leaders.

The invasion of "Halal"

What is this happening? In all countries, the "halal movement" is gaining momentum. More and more you can see stores with this product - from small stalls to huge supermarkets. And the excitement is not only in Muslim countries, but also in Russia, France, Britain and many others. The tendency to organize a healthy diet in the world of Islam has been caused for a long time by religious considerations, whereas in Europe this is the desire to lead a healthy lifestyle.
