Halal Italia raises awareness among companies, for their own protection, about certain rules in the code of conduct of halal certification bodies:
Avoid competition between certification bodies from the same country, even during accreditation procedures involving international control bodies
Respect the territorial realms of certification bodies in other countries
Avoid conflicts of interest in business/consultancy projects
Halal Italia is committed to consumer protection, Muslims and non-Muslims as well, in relation to the final quality of products. Halal ownership is synonymous with the religious integrity of products, thanks to ethical competition between companies, the certification body and the market.
Consumers can check Halal Italia certificates displayed in shops, make reports on certified products, and use the special form provided if they require further explanations or information.
