Halal is a term from the Quran that means ‘permitted’ or ‘lawful’. Therefore, in relation to food, Halal is used for food and other consumables that are permissible for consumption and used by Muslims, based on Islamic law, the Shariah. Halal promotes cleanliness in all aspects of a person and halal foods ensure that food consumed by a person in their daily lives are clean, hygienic and not detrimental to their health or well-being.
