The halal It is not limited to food ingredients or animal slaughter. It also There is a logistics. halal intended to prevent food for Muslims from being contaminated during transport, storage or distribution and thus lose its religious status. This is how it is explained. an official article from the Vietnamese province of Lang Son, which presents this system as an opportunity to adapt transport, warehouses and border points to The demands of the Muslims.
This contamination does not necessarily refer to a health risk, but to contact with products that the Sharia considers forbidden or impure, such as pork, its derivatives or alcohol. To avoid it, the logistics halal It establishes its own rules for transport, storage and sale.. The Malaysian standard MS 2400:2019 regulates these three areas, while the international standard OIC/SMIIC 17:2020 applies the same principles to the supply chains of Islamic countries.
Lorries, containers and separate warehouses
During transport, the products halal They must be kept separate from non-halal items to avoid any contact. with impure products. This separation can be carried out by means of exclusive lorries, separate compartments, separate containers or other physical barriers. Companies must also control vehicles, handling equipment and loading and unloading operations, and maintain traceability records and train the staff so that the goods do not lose their certification during transit.
The requirements continue in warehouses and retail outlets. Receiving areas, shelving, forklift trucks, conveyor belts, knives, chopping boards and worktops may need to be segregated or subject to specific controls. When facilities are shared, Exclusive zones must be delineated, safety distances established or staggered shifts scheduled. to prevent halal products from coming into contact with pork, alcohol or other goods forbidden by Sharia law.
From the Muslim market to Western logistics
The drive behind this logistics is primarily due to The interest of companies and governments in accessing a Muslim market of more than 2 billion consumers.. That is why the certification halal It is no longer limited to the content of food, but extends to the objects, spaces and infrastructures that surround it. In 2018, Sharp marketed a in Indonesia. fridge halal After the Council of Ulemas examined the materials, adhesives, lubricants and the manufacturing process. The same logic that enabled the certification of a household appliance now applies to lorries, containers, warehouses and ports.
This model is not confined to Muslim countries. As Western companies compete for this market and certification bodies expand their scope of operations, It increases the pressure to also adapt European supply chains. What is today presented as a requirement for exporting could end up becoming a permanent infrastructure within Western countries themselves: separate circuits, exclusive zones, certified vehicles and religious protocols incorporated into the ordinary operation of ports, warehouses and transport companies.
