The first halal body in West Africa
Since 2015, Halal Côte d'Ivoire has been checking and certifying halal products and services according to Islamic requirements, at every stage of production and marketing, and supports companies committed to authentic halal.
Serving consumers, supporting companies
As an independent body, we authenticate halal products and services through strict and ongoing controls: slaughterhouses, agri-food industries, butcher shops, catering, cosmetics and pharmacy.
Our intention: to earn Allah's pleasure by guaranteeing consumers food that complies with their faith, without the slightest doubt.
The companies we certify (manufacturers, slaughterhouses, butcher shops, caterers) are our partners: we support them from the initial quote to the renewal of their certificate, so that they gain consumer trust and new markets.
Guarantee, inform, support
Guarantee
Check and certify according to OIC standards, with on-site audits and unannounced inspections.
Inform
Enlighten consumers and public authorities about authentic halal, and make every certificate verifiable.
Support
Train slaughtermen and teams, then support each company from the quote to the renewal of its certificate.
The companies we certify
More than 50 companies entrust us with the certification of their products. We work in 8 sectors: agri-food industries, slaughterhouses and butcher shops, catering, cosmetics, pharmacy, logistics, tourism and hospitality, Islamic finance.
Our auditors go on site, explain every requirement and help the company correct any gaps before the decision. The certificate obtained can then be verified by anyone in our public register.
