Halal Brand Guide

Noor Vitamins is a pioneer in US halal supplements, producing halal-certified fish oil, daily multivitamins, and children's vitamins since the early days of the halal health market. All products use halal-compliant capsule shells and are free of pork gelatine — directly addressing the most common halal failure point in mainstream vitamins.

Standard Korean-market Pepero is Mushbooh: base ingredients (wheat, cocoa, milk, sugar) are broadly permissible, but vanilla flavouring source is undisclosed and no halal certification exists for domestic product. Lotte produces halal-certified Pepero for Malaysian (JAKIM) and Gulf (ESMA) markets. The halal certification logo on the pack is the only reliable indicator.

Roshen is a major Eastern European confectionery brand with no brand-wide halal certification. Certain products — including the 80% dark chocolate and Crabs Caramel candy — are explicitly labeled 'Halal & Kosher' on packaging. Unlabeled Roshen products should be treated as status unknown, as some may contain gelatine or other non-halal animal derivatives.

Saffron Road holds full IFANCA (Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America) halal certification across its entire product line. As a dedicated halal brand, every product — from crunchy chickpeas to frozen entrees — is produced in halal-certified facilities with halal-verified ingredients.

Samyang Buldak ramen exists in two parallel versions: a halal-certified export version (carrying KMF, MUI or JAKIM logo) and a domestic Korean version that is not halal certified and is Mushbooh. The same branding, near-identical packaging — the halal logo is the only reliable indicator. Always check the front of the pack.

SHIFAA Nutrition is a dedicated halal supplement brand built explicitly for Muslim consumers. Their ACV gummies use plant-based gelling agents — no pork gelatine — and their whey protein is halal certified from permissible dairy sources. The brand name itself, from the Arabic word for healing, reflects its core mission.

Standard Shin Ramyun sold in Korean and Western grocery shops is not halal certified — the beef bone extract in the seasoning comes from cattle with no Islamic slaughter guarantee (Mushbooh). Nongshim produces a halal-certified version for Gulf/GCC markets carrying ESMA certification and Arabic labelling. Identifying the certified version requires seeing the halal logo and Arabic text on the front panel.
