Today, more and more preferences are given to healthy eating, playing sports and refusing all kinds of fast food. When in all supermarkets the counters are literally littered with not always useful goodies, in Halal stores, whose products meet special requirements, you will not find this. This name, which has become 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 with? It is internationally known that Muslims pay special attention to their food. This is dictated not so much by a love for a healthy diet to maintain a figure or normalize life in general, as by religious trends. Customers in Halal stores are confident that they are purchasing only high-quality products made using special technologies and not containing harmful substances, as well as components prohibited by the Quran. For example, when preparing halal meat, special methods of slaughtering livestock, almost complete removal of blood, and compliance with hygiene rules and standards are used.
Is it just meat?
Not many people know what kind of products are sold under the Halal sign (that it is not only meat). There is also a confectionery, and sausage, and poultry, and much more. If we move away from the gastronomic industry, then such goods may also include clothing, cosmetics, perfumes. And this is far from all. When making purchases sold under this sign, or using any service, the buyer can be sure that he is acting in accordance with the laws of Islam. Because Halal is not just a commercial brand. It is literally a title. And in order to get it, you need to go through the procedure of confirmation of compliance with certain requirements set by the standard of the Russian Muftis Council . Examination takes place at the Halal International Certification Authority.
Events
One of the most important events in this area - the Halal-2013 exhibition in Moscow - was organized for the fourth time. The event was held from June 13 to 16 at the All-Russian Exhibition Center and brought together more than 140 companies manufacturing and supplying Halal products. You can find out what kind of event it was 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 work. Within its framework, in June of this year, a conference was held on international achievements in this industry. The event was held in St. Petersburg and was marked by the arrival of many Russian and foreign leaders.
The Halal Invasion
What is this happening? Halal movement is gaining momentum in all countries. More and more you can see shops with these products - from small stalls to huge supermarkets. And the hype is happening not only in Muslim countries, but also in Russia, France, Great Britain and many others. The trend towards organizing a healthy diet in the Islamic world has long been caused by religious considerations, while in Europe it is a desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
