Role of Halal Consultancy in Qatar Food Industry

Halal consultancy plays a central role in Qatar’s food market, which currently enjoys increasing demand for Halal certification propelled by both cultural requirements at local levels and international demands at global levels. As the majority of Qatar’s population is Muslim, a demand for Islamic dietary compliant food products is highly essential, and hence, Halal certification has emerged not only as a necessity but also the key for business to succumb to prosperity. Halal consultants guide the food manufacturers on ensuring the whole production system meets very high Halal standards, from sourcing of ingredients up to manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.

Some of the key duties among the ones that the halal consultants in Qatar have include counseling through the certificate-producing processes, especially in relation to the following:. This involves testing whether the raw materials are free from any non-Halal contaminants, as well as whether all ethical operations in the production cycle exist. The consultancy also checks whether the supply chain is transparent and traceable. This process increases the trust that a company has towards its consumers and towards regulatory bodies. With an increasingly stringent regulatory environment in Qatar, Halal consultancy ensures that companies are not mistaken and adhere to all the local and international food safety requirements.
