SINOQUAL Assists Hubei Renfu Gelatin and HPMC Capsules in Obtaining HFC International Halal Certification
Hubei Renfu is a pharmaceutical manufacturer producing both gelatin-based and plant-based (HPMC - hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) empty capsules. These capsule shells are used by pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturers to encapsulate active ingredients.
With SINOQUAL assistance, Hubei Renfu obtained HFC international Halal certification covering both its gelatin and HPMC capsule products. For gelatin capsules, Halal certification requires verifying that gelatin is sourced from Halal-slaughtered bovine or fish sources (not porcine). HPMC capsules, being plant-derived, have inherent Halal compliance advantages.
The dual-product certification enables Hubei Renfu to offer pharmaceutical manufacturers a complete range of Halal-certified capsule options, from traditional gelatin to modern plant-based alternatives.
With growing global demand for Halal-certified pharmaceuticals and supplements, having certified capsule shells is essential for downstream manufacturers targeting Halal markets.
