Halal certification for restaurants

By James Kon

Entrepreneurs in the restaurant business will now be able to obtain the ‘halal’ certification from the Halal
Food Control Division and Syariah Affairs at the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

The Halal Food Control Division and Syariah Affairs at the Ministry of Religious Affairs made this
announcement yesterday.

Applicants who wish to obtain the Brunei Halal Certificates for their restaurant can obtain the necessary
forms at the Halal Food Control Division located at Jln Elizabeth II, BSB, or at the Halal Food Control
Division branches located in Kuala Belait, Tutong or Temburong during office hours.

The Halal Food Control Division reminds the public that eateries that do not possess the halal certificates
cannot display the label of ‘Halal,’ ‘Di Tanggung Halal,’ ‘Makanan Islam’ or the likes at their business
premises.

Under chapter 6 (4) ‘Halal’ Certificates and Halal Label Order 2005, action can be taken on anyone who is
found guilty of breaking the regulation.
