Aminogen has now been certified halal by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA).
Just what is halal?
The term halal means “lawful.” Products certified halal are deemed permissible by Islamic law, which requires specific sanitation procedures to be followed when obtaining and processing foods and ingredients, and forbids the use certain substances, like pork, pork byproducts, intoxicants and some synthetic substances.
What does this mean for Aminogen?
This means that customers who choose halal products can add Aminogen to their list. It can be confusing to know how certain products, like supplements, figure in with specific dietary guidelines, so hopefully this will allow shopping halal a little bit easier.
This certification also gives manufacturers working with Aminogen added ingredient value and flexibility. And with the growing interest in halal products - from both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers - it only makes sense.
You can search a database of halal certified products on IFANCA's site.
UPDATE 5/12/11
IFANCA's database is down at the moment, although you can still visit their main website. I will let you know when the database is back!
