For over 1400 years, halal consumers have always found a way to adhere to their religious dietary requirements. As each century passed, the food landscape never stopped evolving. At every century’s horizon, innovation changed the way food was produced, processed, handled, stored, and transported. This unparalleled industrialization presented a newfound challenge to the global economy and food and beverage globalization in traditionally halal food and beverage markets. It wasn’t too long before the American Halal Foundation (AHF) stepped up to the plate (literally). AHF began certifying halal products and became a globally recognized and accredited organization whose symbol epitomizes integrity, authenticity, and wholesomeness to all 1.8 billion halal consumers. Today AHF certification provides the world's leading companies around the world with a symbol of halal that gives consumers the utmost confidence in the food they eat.
