Voorlichtingsbureau Halalvoeding is benieuwd in hoeverre andere bekende en erkende certificeringsbureau’s zoals uit Indonesie WHFC en Gimdes uit Turkije hier in meewerken.
Het is in ieder geval een stap hopelijk in de goede richting om meer eenduidigheid te ontwikkelen rondom nieuwe producten en meer te streven naar beter naleving op halalregelgeving wat betreft voedse.
In hoeverre commerciele en politieke belangen hierin meespelen zal  verder naar gekeken worden want de consumenten of bedrijven zullen uiteindelijk de keuze maken en mee gaan bepalen wat halal is als er te veel verwarring ontstaat en te weinig eenduidigheid.
