The word, halal, in Arabic means lawful or permitted. Halal foods are foods that are permitted under the Islamic dietary guidelines. With a growing demand for certified halal foods, many grocers and restaurants have begun to offer them. Some companies have even begun to offer halal food catering. According to the dietary guidelines, Muslim followers are restricted from consuming the following:
  • pork or pork products
  • animals that were dead prior to slaughter
  • animals not slaughtered in the correct manner
  • blood or blood products
  • alcohol
  • carnivorous animals
  • birds of prey
  • land animals without external ears
 
With the extremely specific guidelines to follow, it becomes very important to be able to trust that what you are eating is halal. There are several options for becoming certified halal that are government affiliated as well as non-government affiliated. There are options all over the world and many possibilities in many major cities. If you are considering serving certified halal food or halal catering, it is essential that you seek some type of certification. Organizations such as Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) and Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANA) offer assistance, information and certification for their prospective countries.
There are some general suggestions and solutions that can help in your quest to find halal products for your own personal use or for catering halal food.
 
 
 
 
  • Look for registered halal logos on the packaging of the products.
  • Read ingredients very carefully.
  • Avoid products that contain Mashbooh

The Best Halal Catering Services For Your Event

The success of any event depends largely on the catering company. Food is an integral part of most types of events and hardly would any guest be happy or satiated if the quality of the food served is not good enough. There may be various aspects of an event that would fail to impress the guests or the hosts but all of that can go unnoticed if the food is sumptuous, delicious and filling. For obvious reasons, you cannot go wrong with your choice of catering company if you want your event to be a grand success.

Since there are many types of catering companies, here is a quick guide to help you hire the best.

  1. First, you should check if a company qualifies as a halal catering company. Companies catering halal food would have certifications to prove their credentials. You must ask for such a certification and also check how long the company has been catering halal food. Eatzi Gourmet has been certified and catering halal food for more than seven years now and the company furnishes the certification. Having an assurance in the form of certification that it is a halal food catering company is always desirable and necessary.

  2. Second, you should find out the specializations of the halal catering company. Not every company would have expertise in all types of events. A company catering halal food may be an expert at serving at weddings. It might not be an ideal choice for baby showers if it doesn't attend to such events. Very few companies have multiple specializations or have all types of events in their port folio. Baby showers or birthdays are entirely different from weddings or corporate events. Unless a company catering halal food is experienced in all types of events, you cannot hire them if your event isn't their specialization. Eatzi Gourmet has offered halal food catering at all types of events and that gives them the edge to be aware of what is expected at each unique event.

  3. Third, you should look at the proposal of a halal food catering company. You may have a certain list of foods that you want to have. The company catering halal food would also have some suggestions. Check if the suggestions are better than what you had in mind and if the costs are affordable for your budget. Ensuring the halal certification, the specialization of the halal catering company, the cost and the suggestion or proposal will certainly help you to hire the best halal food catering services in Singapore.
