The market for HALAL-certified products shows a huge and growing trend. There are 1.4 billion Muslims worldwide, including 9 million in North America, 20 million in Europe, 300 million in Africa, 200 million in the Middle East, and 800 million in Asia. In addition, there are millions of health-conscious non-Muslims who choose to eat HALAL-certified products because HALAL products are clean and the animal slaughter method is compassionate. (When the animal slaughter method lacks compassion, the hormones and toxins produced by the animal's fright are released into the animal's blood; these hormones and toxins reach the muscle tissue with the blood and contaminate the consumed meat with unnecessary components.)

Halal, originally meaning 'lawful' and translated into Chinese as 'Qingzhen,' refers to food, medicine and cosmetics—and additives for food, medicine and cosmetics—that comply with Muslim living habits and needs. In general, except for things prohibited in the Quran or prohibited by reliable and clear hadith, all other things are permitted for people to enjoy. May relevant Chinese enterprises pay more attention to all aspects of HALAL information and actively invest in this market.
