Private-Label Questions
Questions About Halal Certification for Private-Label Products
Private-label certification requires coordination between the brand owner, contract manufacturer, ingredient suppliers, and the facility included in the certificate scope.
Can a private-label brand get halal certification?
Yes. The brand and manufacturer must provide enough access and documentation to review formulas, ingredient suppliers, production controls, labels, and the facility where the certified products are made.
Who owns the halal certificate: the brand or manufacturer?
The structure depends on the commercial arrangement and certification scope. The proposal and certificate should clearly identify the responsible client, approved products, brand names when applicable, and manufacturing location.
Can several brands use the same contract manufacturer?
Yes, but each certified scope must remain traceable to the approved products, formulas, labels, and brand arrangements. One manufacturer’s certification does not automatically cover every customer or product made at the facility.
What happens if the private-label formula changes?
Changes to formulas, suppliers, facilities, labels, or manufacturing processes should be submitted for review before the revised product is represented as certified.
