Certification Services
What is Halal Certification?
Islamic Services of America's logo indicates that the Halal status of your product or service is being independently monitored by the staff of Islamic Services of America. Our logo is recognized by the Muslim consumer as the sign that your products meet the strictest standards of Halal. For business, I.S.A. has streamlined the process, making quality recognized Halal certification practical, efficient and affordable from an implementation standpoint.
For more information please fill out a Information Request Form. An I.S.A. auditor will review your form and contact you with information that is relevant to your company or organization.
