How do we identify products as halal?
If the product has been given a certificate from an Islamic halal authorisation body, then we consider that product to be halal certified.
We have provided more information about the certification process below.
How do we get halal approval?
A product is considered to be halal approved if it follows the Islamic dietary guidelines. Under the guidelines, there are two main conditions our products must fulfil, in order for them to be certified as halal. These are:
- Only halal ingredients (raw materials) are used.
- The factory is audited and approved by an Islamic Halal authorisation body.
To ensure that our baby products are certified as halal correctly, we have selected authorisation bodies based on their wide international reach, and their reputation within the UK Muslim community.
Why are some of our ready to use liquids or powders halal certified and others are not?
For our products to be halal certified, they must be produced in a factory that has been halal approved.
Some of our products, for example, our Aptamil Advanced ready to use liquids are produced in a halal approved factory. Others, are produced in a factory which has not yet been approved or visited by an Islamic Halal authorisation body.
Most of our recipes do not contain haram ingredients or processing steps. However, some of our factories have not yet been Halal approved. This doesn't mean that the recipes are unsuitable for a halal diet, but they have not been certified by an external authorisation body.
The full list of halal approved products is provided above.
