Italian Cuisine Gets Halal Flavor

Introducing new investment opportunities to pull Europe out of crisis, World Halal Food Council has held a conference in the Italian capital to promote the production, logistics and commercialization of new investments according to Islamic standards.

"We are willing to invest in Italy, which we want to see become the hub of the Halal market in the Mediterranean," Saudi sheik Fahah Alared, a member of the Committee for Islamization of Banks, told Italian news agency (ANSA) on Monday, March 31.

Halal products are a global market worth "13 trillion per year, growing 15% every year, reaching two billion Muslims," he added.

Alared was speaking at the World Halal Food Council (WHFC) event held in Rome March 26-30.

The event organized by the Italian section of the Halal International Authority (HIA), the only organism recognized for the quality certification for products according to Islamic standards, gathered together representatives of the 57 Islamic states of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for the first time in Italy.

The message of the meeting focused on promoting the growing halal industry, including Islamic finance and other products, as a means to pull Europe out of its crisis and Italy in particular.

This goal could be achieved by following Islamic and halal food standards in "production, logistics and commercialization" consistent with the precepts of Shari`ah laws.

The concept of halal, -- meaning permissible in Arabic -- has traditionally been applied to food.

Muslims should only eat meat from livestock slaughtered by a sharp knife from their necks, and the name of Allah, the Arabic word for God, must be mentioned.

Now other goods and services can also be certified as halal, including cosmetics, clothing, pharmaceuticals and financial services.

Halal food is consumed not only by 1.5 billion Muslims around the world, but also by at least 500 million non-Muslims in the $2 billion global industry.

The global market in Islamic investments is rapidly expanding, rising by 150 per cent since 2006 and expected to be worth £1.3 trillion in 2014.
