The term Halal in Arabic means “permissible” and refers to everything that is permitted according to the dietary rules of the Islamic tradition. In the food sector, a Halal product must comply with specific regulations regarding the selection of raw materials, manufacturing processes and certification. Halal nutrition is based on principles of purity and traceability, ensuring that each stage of production complies with religious precepts. Halal certification for cured meats therefore represents an important bridge between the Italian gastronomic tradition and compliance with dietary requirements.
