How certification works in this checker
- Clearly haram ingredients are checked first. Certification never overrides a clearly haram ingredient in this checker.
- If no haram ingredient is found, a recognised certifier name or the words “Halal certified” in the label text gives a Halal result.
- If neither is present and a doubtful ingredient's source is unstated, the result is Doubt.
If a logo is unfamiliar
Do not assume it is or is not valid from the logo alone. Check the manufacturer's own website or contact details on the pack, and confirm that this specific product — not just the brand — is certified. Products are reformulated and certification can change.
Try it in the checker
Paste “Water, halal chicken, salt, vegetables. Halal certified by AFIC.” into the home checker to see a Halal result, then remove the certification wording and compare.
