Halal (Arabic: حلال ḥalāl, – “allowed”) is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term is used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law (Sharia, الشريعة الإسلامية), though the meaning of the term itself is much broader than the permitted food. The term means that the product does not contain components prohibited for consumption by Muslims (alcohol, pork, blood, etc.) and is a high quality, environmentally friendly product that does not contain harmful preservatives and additives. We used to think that “Halal” is a meat of animals, the consumption of which does not violate Islamic food prohibitions, and also meets the requirements of shelf life and storage. In fact, Halal products are not just meat – there are ready-made meat products, poultry, dairy products, confectionery, honey and many other products that meets Islamic requirements. Islamic rules of nutrition are based on conclusions from the texts of the Qur’an and Hadith, which tell of the deeds and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم).
