British Halal Charter.
When one looks at halal, the principles are straightforward, however, their interpretation and implementation may be inconsistent, thus leading to a dilution and lack of confidence in halal and what it represents.
The British Halal Charter was created by a group of British Muslim experts in the UK halal sector where the basic principles of halal were discussed in greater detail and a consensus was reached to help eliminate any confusion with a view to protecting halal for present and future generations.
By signing up to the British Halal Charter you/your organisation commits to upholding the principles of halal and their implementation in your organisation/operation and manufacture of products so that the customer can have confidence in what you offer and thus help to eliminate the dilution of halal by rogue elements.
