When filling out the Halal certification material declaration form, some enterprises list themselves as both the manufacturer and the supplier. For example: An enterprise that buys ginger from farmers and makes ginger oil itself fills in the material form as self-produced ginger oil, when the correct entry should be "ginger - purchased from farmers." Such a seemingly insignificant problem can leave hidden risks during the material review stage of Halal certification or the document review stage of the on-site factory inspection, affecting the progress of the entire certification. Therefore, when filling out the material declaration form, enterprises should strictly follow the material form filling principles below. 1. Standards for labeling material information All material information must be clearly labeled in both Chinese and English: Basic information labeling Material name: The material name must be complete, fully consistent with the warehouse inventory system, and in both Chinese and English (e.g., Whey Powder). Manufacturer: full company name - in Chinese and English. Supplier: full company name - in Chinese and English. Country of origin: labeled according to customs standards (e.g., Malaysia). With a Halal certificate: label the body name (e.g., JAKIM/MUIS), certificate number, validity period, and specify the product item on the certificate corresponding to the purchased material (e.g., No.3). Without a Halal certificate: provide supporting documents (process flow chart, Halal declaration, quality inspection report/COA/MSDS). 2. Truthful reporting of material sources When filling in material information, enterprises should report strictly according to the actual way the material was obtained and the production stage: If the material is a purchased raw material processed by the enterprise into a new product, fill in the original purchased material and the manufacturer (e.g., "ginger - purchased from farmers"). If the supplier is not the manufacturer (e.g., a trading company) and the material is procured via the supplier, fill in both the manufacturer information and the supplier information. Do not confuse roles: do not directly label a purchased raw material as "self-produced"; you must distinguish the "supplier" from the "manufacturer" (the enterprise itself that processes the material). Core requirement: Ensure the transparency and traceability of every link in the supply chain, truthfully reflecting the source of materials and the responsible party for processing.

FAQ

When filling out the Halal certification material declaration form, how should the manufacturer and supplier be truthfully reported?
Enterprises should report strictly according to the actual way the material was obtained and the production stage, and must not confuse roles: a purchased raw material must not be directly labeled as "self-produced"; the "supplier" must be distinguished from the "manufacturer" (the enterprise itself that processes the material). For example, an enterprise that buys ginger from farmers and makes ginger oil itself should fill in "ginger - purchased from farmers" rather than self-produced ginger oil. If the material is a purchased raw material processed into a new product, fill in the original purchased material and the manufacturer; if the supplier is not the manufacturer (e.g., a trading company), fill in both the manufacturer and supplier information. The core requirement is to ensure the transparency and traceability of every link in the supply chain.
