For chocolate snack brands, ensuring that their products meet halal standards is not only about consumer demand, but also about expanding market share and enhancing brand reputation. So, is chocolate itself halal? How can you ensure that your chocolate snacks meet halal requirements? The following points are key to ensuring that your chocolate products meet halal standards:
Ingredient Inspection
Animal-based ingredients
Some of the common animal-based ingredients found in chocolates are dairy products, gelatin and emulsifiers. As a brand owner, you need to ensure that the sources of these ingredients meet halal standards.
- Dairy products: If your chocolate snack products contain dairy products, you need to ensure that such dairy products are from halal-certified farms or suppliers.
- Gelatin: Some chocolate products are produced using gelatin as an emulsifier or stabilizer. Make sure these gelatins come from animals slaughtered in a halal process.
- Emulsifiers: If emulsifiers such as lecithin are used, make sure they are either plant-based (e.g., soy lecithin) or halal-certified animals.
- Alcohol: Some flavor chocolate snacks could contain alcohol residues. Refrain from using alcohol in your product as a brand owner to maintain your product as halal certified.
Production Process
Cross contamination
Cross contamination in the production of chocolate can affect the halal status of the chocolate. To avoid cross contamination with non-halal products, you should have strict observance of halal standards and regular cleaning and checking in your production plants.
Cleaning of production equipment
If the same machinery for production has been used to produce other foods that are not halal, it must be cleaned and disinfected very well to ensure there is no residue that would compromise the halal status of the chocolate.
Certification Mark
Halal certification
The best way of assuring that the chocolate is in compliance with Islamic law is halal certification. Customers usually love products with a halal certification mark. As a brand owner, you have the option to utilize an authentic halal certification agency and be certified and then put the mark of certification on the packaging. Common halal certification marks include:
- JAKIM certification in Malaysia
- MUI certification in Indonesia
- MUIS certification in Singapore
- GAC certification in the Middle East
Brand reputation
Choose halal chocolate ingredients from well-known organizations
As a brand owner, you can choose to source your raw materials from experienced suppliers who specialize in producing halal chocolate so that your products are halal from the very beginning. Brands like Hershey’s and Nestlé provide halal-certified products all over the world and can be taken as a reference for your brand.
Communication and transparency
If you are unsure whether a specific ingredient is halal or not, you can proactively request the supplier to provide you with halal certification documents or certificates relevant to ensure the product ingredients meet the standards.
Develop chocolate yourself
For brand owners, in case you choose to produce and make chocolate yourself, you need to ensure that all the ingredients are halal and comply with halal rules throughout the production process. Ensure that you do not use any ingredients or production processes that do not meet Islamic law, and all supply chains from raw materials to products must be halal-compliant.
