What Does It Mean for Supplements to Be Certified Halal?
Finding the best supplements to meet your needs doesn’t mean compromising on the dietary values that are important to you and your family. That’s why Swanson is proud to offer many halal-certified supplements to support your wellness, your way.
Swanson was founded with a mission to bring wellness to the world and when we say everyone deserves a trusted partner for their health journey, we mean it. Offering products that adhere to a wide variety of dietary preferences—be it vegan or kosher or now halal—is our way of honoring that commitment. Swanson’s halal products are produced in a manner that meets the certifying standards of the American Halal Foundation (AHF).
What Does “Halal” Mean in Supplements?
At Swanson we’re proud to offer many supplements that are halal certified. But what does “halal” mean? According to the American Halal Foundation, it means “permitted” in Arabic, and refers to foods, drinks, and other products that adhere to Islamic dietary restrictions.1 Therefore, if a product such as a supplement is certified as halal, then it is considered permissible for someone who follows Islamic dietary laws to consume.
The Role of the American Halal Foundation (AHF)
The American Halal Foundation (AHF), as a halal certification authority, exists to ensure quality control policies, ingredients, and other manufacturing processes at certified locations produce consumable products in line with strict Islamic laws.2 Halal certification means maintaining complete records on ingredients and suppliers, training staff in halal practices, verifying that production lines are cleaned and prepared to halal standards, and putting clear protocols in place for critical materials or changes.
When a manufacturer such as Swanson receives certification from the AHF, this communicates to customers that it has undergone rigorous inspection and has practices in place designed to ensure that certified products meet recognized halal standards.
Why Halal Certification Matters for Supplements
When a manufacturer receives a trusted halal certification, this conveys certain benefits to the public, such as greater transparency into the production of their halal supplements and greater accessibility for those who rely on a halal form of wellness support for their daily health. All of this contributes to enhanced consumer trust and a sense of being valued by the manufacturer.
When you buy your halal supplements from a trusted, halal-certified company like Swanson, you can expect:
- Assurance that ingredients are sourced and processed according to halal standards
- Even greater transparency in manufacturing and labeling
- Confidence for integrating supplements into wellness routines that complement a Muslim lifestyle
