Halal global trade

Halal certification in Brazil is issued by independent Islamic certification bodies, not by the Brazilian Government. They audit production processes, ingredients, facilities, procedures and, when applicable, the complete supply chain.

MAPA and other competent Brazilian authorities are responsible for food safety, sanitary controls, inspection and applicable regulation, but do not issue religious Halal certification.

Exports to Arab countries, GCC markets and other Islamic markets must also meet recognition criteria established by competent authorities in the destination country.
