The Halal Gelatin

Today, we will introduce you to What Type of Gelatin can be Halal certificated.

First, what is the Halal certificate? 

Halal certificates will be applied to food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. And these products certificated by Halal mean they meet the standard of Islamic Law, without any “forbidden” ingredients. And these products also don’t touch any “impure” ingredients. This is very important for Muslim consumers because they only can use these products according to their religion and culture.

So What kind of gelatin is certificated by Halal?

There are different types of gelatin products in the market, we have Pork gelatin, Bovine Skin Gelatin, Bovine Bone Gelatin, and Fish Gelatin.

But halal certification has strict restrictions on the source of products, Pork is forbidden in Muslim culture. This means Bovine Skin Gelatin, Bovine Bone Gelatin, and Fish Gelatin can be Halal Certificated.

So when some customers ask for Halal Pork Gelatin, which is wrong. When the products’ source is from Pig. Halal can not certify it.
