Halal Italia

Halal Italia is an Italian halal certification organisation established in 2009, providing halal certification services for food products, slaughter operations, ingredients, and food-service establishments. Halal Italia operates alongside World Halal Authority (WHA) within Italy's halal certification ecosystem, serving Italian food manufacturers and exporters seeking access to Muslim consumer markets. A significant development for Halal Italia was Indonesia's BPJPH recognition under the Indonesia-Italy bilateral mutual recognition agreement signed in September 2024 — one of the first such bilateral MRAs between a European and Southeast Asian halal authority. Halal Italia's certificates are also recognised by JAKIM (Malaysia) and MUIS (Singapore). Italy is a major exporter of processed foods, confectionery, dairy, and olive oil, and halal certification is increasingly important for Italian producers targeting the Gulf Cooperation Council, Southeast Asian, and North African markets. Halal Italia provides audit, certification, and halal consultancy services for Italian food businesses.
