Halal certification is essential for packaging to ensure that all elements of the product, including its outer materials, conform to Islamic principles. This certification process verifies that the materials employed, such as inks, adhesives, and coatings, do not contain any haram (forbidden) substances, such as those derived from animals or alcohol, which could undermine the halal status of the product. Additionally, it ensures that the packaging process is free from contamination by non-halal items and aligns with ethical standards. Such certification is vital for upholding the integrity of halal products from production to the consumer, as it guarantees that every aspect, including packaging, adheres to halal guidelines and provides assurance to consumers who follow Islamic dietary laws.
