Frequently asked questions
Does the training deliver a Halal certification?
No. It delivers a training certificate. Halal certification of a product or a site is issued after an audit by a certification body: IMANOR in Morocco, or the body recognised by the importing country.
Is a Moroccan Halal certificate accepted everywhere?
There is no universal Halal certificate. Each importing country may require a standard or bodies that it recognises, and the buyer may add conditions. The course teaches you to ask these questions in writing before choosing the body.
Can Halal and non-Halal be produced on the same line?
It depends on the standard targeted and the nature of the products. Where it is allowed, written rules for segregation, cleaning and traceability are needed, which the auditor will check. The workshop applies these rules to your lines.
Is the Kosher part enough to prepare for a Kosher audit?
It gives the principles and the organisation to plan for. Kosher certification depends on the agency chosen, which sets its own requirements and supervision: additional support is often useful once the agency is known.
