Dubai-based International Halal Accreditation Forum finalizing by-law for General Assembly approval
Dubai-based International Halal Accreditation Forum (IHAF) is finalizing the drafting of its by-law that will be deliberated by its General Assembly in November, the organization said in a statement yesterday.
The organization's Secretary-General, Mohamed Saleh Badri, said that although halal standards and processes are based on universal principles and teachings of Islam, the halal industry is yet to use a single set of determinants and one all-encompassing halal mark.
"More than a hundred halal marks are currently being used all over the globe. IHAF’s ultimate mission is to unify halal criteria and halal practices and generate a global agreement among the authorities that would ease the flow of halal goods between countries and create a halal market that consumers can trust," said Badri.
