What is the Halal Certification Program?

Halal Food Standards Alliance of America (HFSAA) Halal Certification Program is a process to provide assurance that the food you have been served has been thoroughly vetted to meet a high standard of Halal. HFSAA Standards require the following:

· The entire facility to be ritually cleansed and tested to confirm that there are no traces of porcine, alcohol, and other prohibited products remaining.

· Every product used to prepare meals to be thoroughly vetted by our team to be free of any prohibited ingredients.

· The HFSAA staff conducts regular audits to ensure that the facility is staying in adherence to HFSAA's standards, to train and educate employees, and to answer any questions.
