Blackpool-based Private Label Nutrition (PLN) has received the important halal certification for its bespoke supplements.
The firm has been working in partnership with The Halal Trust to ensure its custom-built manufacturing facility meets halal standards. Whilst no meat is present on site, supplements manufactured at the company have been certified to ensure that materials used meet a number of strict standards, including quality control procedures, as well as ensuring materials are not genetically modified.
The Halal Trust is a not-for-profit, halal certifier and consumer advocacy organisation, responsible for promoting the halal sector for the benefit of halal consumers and producers of halal products.
Taking four months, the certification process began with an application from PLN to The Halal Trust, in order to work together to integrated the Halal Trust’s strict policies into their daily activities. Following a successful site visit from The Halal Trust, the firm’s products were analysed and accepted as halal conforming.
The halal market is currently valued at $500 billion globally. The demand for halal products and services continues unabated and represents commercial opportunities for businesses to diversify and thrive in the modern world.
Shoeeb Riaz, Operations Director for The Halal Trust, said: “The team at Private Label Nutrition has worked closely with us to understand and help promote the benefits of halal for all consumers.”
Richard Richmond, Director, Private Label Nutrition added: “We made the decision to become halal certified as a result of the growing domestic and international market for supplements conforming to the diet. The growth in the halal market represents significant opportunities for businesses to diversify and secure future growth
“Shoeeb and The Halal Trust have helped us understand the importance of halal and we are proud that the certification body has approved our processes and recognised the quality of our supplements.”
