These days, more and more preference is given to he althy eating, sports and the rejection of all kinds of fast food. When counters in all supermarkets are literally littered with not always he althy goodies, you will not find this in Halal stores, whose products meet special requirements. This name, which has become almost a quality mark in many countries, is increasingly common in Russia and other "non-Muslim" countries.

Authorized products

Halal - what is it and what is it eaten with? It is known worldwide that Muslims pay special attention to their food. This is dictated not so much by a love of he althy eating to maintain a figure or normalize life in general, but by religious trends. Buyers in Halal stores are sure that they are purchasing only high-quality products made using special technologies and not containing harmful substances, as well as components prohibited by the Koran. For example, when harvesting halal meat, special methods of slaughtering livestock are used, almost complete removal of blood and compliance with hygiene rules and regulations.

Only meat?

Not many people know what kind of products are sold under the Halal sign (that this is not only meat). There are confectionery, and sausage, and poultry, and much more. If we move away from the gastronomic industry, then such goods may also include clothing, cosmetics, perfumes. And that's not all. When making purchases sold under this sign, or using any service, the buyer can be sure that he is acting in accordance with the laws of Islam. Because "Halal" is not just a commercial brand. It's literally a title. And in order to get it, you need to go through the procedure for confirming compliance with certain requirements set by the standard of the Council of Muftis of Russia. The certification takes place at the Halal International Certification Center.

Events

One of the most important events in this area - the exhibition "Halal-2013" in Moscow - was organized for the fourth time. The event was held from 13 to 16 June at the All-Russian Exhibition Center and brought together more than 140 companies producing and supplying Halal products. What kind of event it was, you can find out on the official website. The fifth Moscow exhibition will take place in June 2014. This event is perhaps the best way to make yourself known as a supplier of halal products.

Besides, the First Russian Halal Summit started its work. Within its framework, in June of this year, a conference was held on international achievements in this industry. The event was held in St. Petersburg and wasmarked by the arrival of many Russian and foreign leaders.

Halal invasion

What is this going on? In all countries, the "halal movement" is gaining momentum. More and more shops with these products can be seen - from small kiosks to huge supermarkets. And the excitement is happening not only in Muslim countries, but also in Russia, France, Great Britain and many others. The trend towards he althy eating in the world of Islam has long been driven by religious considerations, while in Europe it is the desire to lead a he althy lifestyle.
