Recently, the Uttar Pradesh government has banned food items with Halal certification in the state.
After this ban, production, sale and storage of foods with Halal certification will be illegal.
According to the Uttar Pradesh government, Halal certificate is not necessary for vegetarian products.
According to the government, Halal certification of food products creates confusion about the quality of food products.
This is completely against the original intention of the law.
Only export products are exempted from this restriction.
Halal is an Arabic word which means permission.
Products that meet the requirements of Islamic law and are suitable for use by Muslims are called Halal-certified products.
Halal certification was first introduced for slaughtered meat in 1974.
Halal certificate is not issued by the government but by a third party.
