Halal & Kosher Certification
Halal & Kosher Certification Support
At Infinity Food Solutions, we provide complete assistance for obtaining **Halal** and **Kosher** certifications — essential for food businesses targeting Muslim and Jewish consumers, Middle East/Southeast Asia markets, or global retailers. We handle documentation, application processes, coordination with recognized certification bodies (e.g., Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Halal India, OU Kosher, Star-K), ingredient/supplier verification, and product-specific compliance (no alcohol/pork for Halal; no dairy-meat mixing for Kosher) — ensuring smooth audits and certification so you can expand your market reach confidently.
Halal vs Kosher Certification (2026)
Key Differences & Requirements
| Aspect | Halal Certification | Kosher Certification |
|---|---|---|
| Religious Basis | Islamic dietary laws (Quran & Hadith) | Jewish dietary laws (Torah & Rabbinic tradition) |
| Prohibited Items | Pork, alcohol, blood, carnivorous animals, improperly slaughtered meat | Pork, shellfish, mixing meat & dairy, non-kosher slaughtered animals |
| Slaughter Requirements | Zabiha (Islamic method: throat cut, blood drained, Allah's name invoked) | Shechita (Jewish method: swift cut by trained shochet, blood drained) |
| Major Indian/Intl Bodies | Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Halal India, JAKIM (Malaysia), IFANCA | OU (Orthodox Union), OK Kosher, Star-K, KF Kosher |
| Validity | 1–3 years (annual renewal/audit) | 1 year (annual renewal, frequent plant audits) |
| Best For | Middle East, Southeast Asia, Muslim-majority markets | USA, Europe, Israel, Jewish communities & kosher retail |
Both require strict ingredient traceability, no cross-contamination, and on-site audits. Many Indian exporters pursue both for wider market access. Certification valid 1–3 years with surveillance/renewal.
