What Makes Something Halal?

Halal is any food that adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the Koran.

There are quite a few requirements for a food to meet to ensure it’s halal and not haram (forbidden to eat). For starters, an animal must be alive and healthy prior to slaughter with all of its blood drained.

The food must also follow other procedures, being produced, manufactured, or even stored using equipment that has been cleared by Islamic law. Additionally, no component or ingredient added can be prohibited. This means if even one ingredient is added that isn’t halal, it makes the entire dish haram.

Because there are so many requirements to follow in the process of food production to ensure its halal, there are certifying authorities that help consumers know whether a food is halal or not. A great example of a food that may be difficult to determine is Takis chips. Takis are produced using a variety of ingredients that go through numerous processes before being added together.
