Can a non-alcoholic product be Halal certified if it's manufactured in a facility that also processes alcohol?
No — Halal certification typically requires that products be produced in facilities dedicated to non-alcoholic manufacturing. Members report that the guidance is clear: a product cannot be Halal certified if it's made in a place that also bottles alcohol, even if the product itself contains no alcohol.
- **Dedicated facilities required** — The certification process requires production in a facility that does not process alcoholic products at all. This is a hard requirement, not a grey area that can be negotiated around. - **Specialist advisors available** — Members recommend connecting with consultants who specialise in Halal certification guidance, as the process can be more nuanced than initially apparent and professional support helps navigate the requirements.
