Halal Certification Consultant in São Paulo

Certifying for the Malaysian market from São Paulo

Brazil is one of the largest halal protein exporters in the world, served by well-established independent certifiers. Brazilian poultry and beef are a major component of Malaysian halal meat imports.

For a São Paulo business, the question is not which local scheme to use but whether your certifier is recognised by JAKIM. JAKIM publishes a list of Recognised Foreign Halal Certification Bodies (FHCB), and recognition attaches to the certifying body rather than to the country. Product certified by a body outside that list will not be accepted for the Malaysian market, regardless of how well established the certifier is domestically.

What exporters from São Paulo need in place

• An FHCB-recognised certifier appropriate to your product category
• Halal Assurance System documentation mapped to MS 1500:2019 rather than only to the local standard
• Ingredient and supplier records that satisfy JAKIM's traceability expectations
• Segregation evidence across production, storage and transport, including at port
• Labelling that meets Malaysian requirements for the destination market

How we work with São Paulo businesses

We start with a gap analysis against MS 1500:2019, then build the documentation and train the people who have to live with it. The aim is a first-time pass, not a re-audit.

• Gap analysis and compliance assessment
• Halal Assurance System manual and SOP development
• Internal Halal Committee and staff training
• Mock audit and corrective action
• Application preparation and follow-up
