What is IFANCA?
IFANCA (The Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America), founded in 1982 and headquartered in Chicago, USA, is one of the world's authoritative and professional Halal certification bodies, certifying food ingredients, additives, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and nutritional products. Its certificates are recognized by bodies in Thailand, Indonesia (MUI), Singapore (MUIS), the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and the USDA international programs, and are valid worldwide — especially across North America and Europe.
