Can gelatin hollow capsules pass Halal/Kosher certification and what determines this?

It depends critically on the gelatin component. Gelatin is divided into plant-based and animal-based types. If animal gelatin involves pig skin or pig bones (sensitive materials for Halal and Kosher), it cannot pass. If the workshop produces both types simultaneously, production lines must have absolutely no cross-contamination and finished products must not share common storage to pass inspection.

In recent years, the Halal pharmaceutical industry has been steadily growing worldwide, and market demand for HALAL-certified gelatin hollow capsules has been increasing. Gelatin hollow capsules are made from pharmaceutical gelatin and excipients, consisting of cap and body sections. They are mainly used for containing solid medications, such as self-made powders, health products, and pharmaceuticals, solving the problems of difficulty swallowing and poor taste for users.

Whether gelatin hollow capsules can successfully pass HALAL and KOSHER certification depends critically on the gelatin component in the capsules. Common gelatin is divided into plant-based gelatin and animal-based gelatin. If animal gelatin involves pig skin or pig bones - components sensitive to Halal and Kosher certification - it cannot pass HALAL or KOSHER certification.

If the production workshop simultaneously produces plant-based gelatin and animal-based gelatin, it must be guaranteed that the production lines for both types of gelatin have absolutely no cross-contamination, and finished products share no common storage, in order to pass the inspection body examination.
