SUNTAT Halal Products

A matter of trust: SUNTAT Halal products

More than four million Muslims live in Germany and the demand for halal food is steadily increasing. Halal products currently account for nearly 17 percent of global food production and the market continues to grow. But what is actually meant by halal? – Translated, “halal” means something like “permitted”. Accordingly, halal products are foodstuffs that comply with Islamic dietary regulations according to religious and cultural understanding.

According to the Koran, Muslims are not allowed to eat pork. However, the meat of other animals, such as beef or chicken, is only “halal” if the animals are kept and slaughtered according to Islamic rites. However, even foods that at first glance appear to be meat-free are affected by the regulations, for example sweets to which gelatin derived from pigs is added or finished products that contain corresponding edible fats, emulsifiers or even alcohol and certain flavorings.
Those who value a diet that conforms to their religion therefore need reliable products. SUNTAT has been offering a wide variety of HALAL products for years. They are currently considered the best-selling products among the HALAL goods offered in the German-Turkish food trade. There are already a number of institutes in Germany that test food for ingredients and slaughtering and husbandry methods of animals that are forbidden for Muslims and also label them accordingly. However, there are currently no binding standards and no official certificate. This is how trust in the manufacturer is ultimately decisive. SUNTAT vouches with its good name for the fact that the company’s own products, which bear the corresponding seal of quality, have been tested by an independent institute and comply with the halal specifications for food.
