4. Core Purpose

The core purpose of the HFC is to define and establish halal standards based on the authority of Islamic law, share and promote knowledge about halal food and products to consumers, and raise awareness of halal issues. It also provides export companies with professional certification consulting services covering global halal standards, facilitating the smooth expansion of cooperation between companies and halal product importing countries. Furthermore, in response to my country's "Belt and Road" initiative, the HFC aims to rapidly and responsively absorb cutting-edge international halal solutions and establish a resource-sharing channel covering feedback on major global halal certification issues.

2. Advantages

◆Expert team efficient certification

HFC's halal certification is personally overseen by the industry's renowned Mufti Hammad Khursheed and Mufti Muhammad Adil Ayub. Only with a top-tier Shariah auditing team, qualified as a Mufti, can halal-certified products withstand the rigors of the market.

Mufti, an Arabic word meaning "explainer of the law," is an Islamic title for those who explain the law. Perhaps these definitions don't answer your question: just how authoritative is a mufti? Let's put it another way: a mufti's position in the field is comparable to that of Academician Zhong Nanshan in the COVID-19 pandemic. That will make the point clearer.

◆The world's first "QR code full traceability system"

HFC pioneered the world's first "QR Code Full Traceability System," providing 24-hour mobile self-service tracking services for companies and their customers. By scanning the unique QR code on the certificate, users can instantly access information about the company's certified products, basic company information, and images of key aspects of the halal production system, including raw material warehouses, production workshops, finished product warehouses, halal internal auditor training, and factory inspection reports.

Only through transparency and openness can consumers better identify halal authenticity and eliminate the economic losses caused by subjective judgment and pre-inspection assessment errors due to ambiguous rules. At the same time, it will significantly reduce the trust cost between enterprises and the market, eliminate the lucky mentality of individual enterprises in counterfeiting certificates at the source, improve the credibility and reputation of enterprises in the eyes of consumers, and establish a healthy and sustainable development of the halal industry and a market ecosystem of mutual trust and win-win results.

◆Super high cost performance

It is worth mentioning that HFC is not a purely profit-making organization. Unlike other halal certification agencies that charge according to the number of certified products, it encourages factories to obtain certification uniformly as long as their products fully comply with the halal standards stipulated by Islamic law, regardless of whether there is a need for certification for the halal export market. The price of certifying one product is the same as that of 100 products, which avoids the subsequent cost of increasing product certification due to market expansion, making HFC halal certification more cost-effective.

This is also an important reason why Jacob Star recommends HFC to those who need Halal certification. Spending less and getting more done is the best way!

◆Five-star service and complete after-sales system

Jacob Star comes standard with experienced certifiers and a professional sales team who are on call from the consultation stage, providing one-on-one guidance and explanations throughout the entire process until you receive the certificate, allowing you to understand the requirements of Halal certification in 360° without blind spots.

During the application stage, we will have a professional document review team to take care of all your document compilation and translation work, eliminating the need to hire an English translator, thus perfectly avoiding your financial and time losses in this stage.

You don't need to worry about the crucial factory inspection process. Jacob Star meticulously plans a detailed factory inspection process for you, helping each company establish a five-person professional halal internal audit team to easily achieve halal certification.

After-sales service is also something we attach great importance to. As long as you give us an order, Jacob Star will respond at any time to your needs such as adding products, modifying certificates, extending certificates, etc.

◆Wide range of applications

At present, HFC has obtained the recognition qualifications of most authoritative organizations in the world, including the International Halal Alliance, the European Certification Center, the highest halal certification authority in Pakistan, the official halal organization in Thailand, and the highest halal certification organization in South Korea. It has also become an honorary observer of the World Halal Committee, providing better protection for enterprises exporting to Muslim countries such as Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, Southeast Asia, as well as China and other regions.

◆Simplify the complex and be local and people-friendly

Through its world-leading halal industry R&D team, HFC has transformed complex halal regulations into a transparent, highly operational domestic certification system. This has successfully guided Chinese companies, which had little understanding of halal certification, to quickly and effectively master the core systems of halal production, thereby facilitating the smooth expansion of their partnerships with halal product importing countries. Furthermore, by rapidly and responsively incorporating cutting-edge international halal solutions and sharing resources covering feedback channels on major global halal certification issues, HFC has become one of the few halal certification agencies in China certified to certify complex products such as meat products, slaughterhouses, and gelatin.

After years of certification work, HFC has made a significant contribution to helping Chinese companies enter the halal market. Currently, over 400 companies in Asia (including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and South Korea) have chosen HFC certification to enter the halal market. In the future, Jacob Star will continue to work with HFC to provide high-quality halal certification to more companies.
