Asia Pacific Witnesses Significant Growth in Halal Food Market, Owing To Stringent Halal Laws

 

Halal food is something that is widely accepted within the Muslim world. It's basically the opposite of haram, which is strictly prohibited. The term, Halal, literally means "lawful" or "legal". Now for some examples of halal foods, we will begin with seafood. Halal seafood is one of the major components of the halal diet, because it is one of the easiest foods to prepare and eat. You may find it interesting that halal is the first topic that comes up when you mention Arabic cuisine, since seafood is one of the easiest dishes to prepare and consume. In fact, many scholars maintain that the primary reason behind the popularity of halal cuisine is that Islamic dietary laws require that you eat seafood from the sea, which is difficult to do. So seafood is the first item that we will focus on in our discussions.

In Asia Pacific, there is significant growth in the halal food market, owing to stringent Halal laws. In October 2019, Indonesia's Halal Product Law came into effect. Many consumer products and related services that enter and are traded in the country must now be Halal-certified, while some products and services will have until 2022 to comply. Demand for halal food is also on the rise in the U.S. In 2016, the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of North America reported that US consumers spent $20 billion on halal food, up 33% from 2010.

As you may be aware, halal is not only about dietary laws but it also includes behavior and manners. Halal is a collective word used to describe the actions of Muslims when dealing with animals. When a Muslim is involved in a circumstance where he must use a sharp instrument or kill an animal, he must refer to Allah and say, "It is rightly said, God is great, because He has drawn blood from the hands of His children." Now, that you understand the different ways in which meat is deemed Halal or permissible, you should also know what a haram is. A haram is something that is morally wrong. In the Islamic law, a haram is defined as eating, drinking, or using as a means to earn money without regard to the person being affected.
