Understanding Halal-Certified Meat: What It Means for Your Business

February 22, 2025

The demand for halal-certified meat is growing worldwide, particularly in the Middle East, where strict regulations ensure compliance with Islamic dietary laws. For businesses in HoReCa, retail, and wholesale, sourcing halal meat isn’t just about meeting religious requirements—it’s also about quality, safety, and consumer trust.

What Is Halal-Certified Meat?


"Halal" means permissible in Arabic and refers to food that adheres to Islamic dietary laws.


Halal Meat Regulations in the Middle East


The GCC countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc.) have strict halal certification and import requirements. Each country enforces certifications from recognized authorities.


  • UAE: The Emirates Authority for Standardization & Metrology (ESMA) governs halal certifications and enforces the UAE Halal National Mark.
  • Saudi Arabia: The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) mandates all imported meat to have halal certification from approved bodies.
  • Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman: Require certifications from internationally recognized halal certifiers and thorough inspection of imported meat.


Failure to comply with these regulations can result in shipment rejections, fines, or business disruptions.


Why Halal Certification Matters for Your Business


For restaurants, wholesalers, and food retailers, halal-certified meat ensures:

  • Market access to the growing Muslim consumer base
  • Consumer trust by meeting religious and ethical dietary needs
  • Compliance with GCC import laws, avoiding regulatory issues
  • Premium quality standards, as halal meat is often fresher and ethically sourced
