ABIEC and FAMBRAS Halal signed a cooperation agreement at SIAL
The Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (ABIEC) and FAMBRAS Halal Certifier signed today, October 18, 2022, during SIAL in Paris, a Cooperation Agreement for the exchange of information on the Halal meat market.
With the partnership, the entities will begin the exchange of statistical data, which will enable a greater understanding of the trends in the halal market, and consequently greater efficiency in the strategies to meet and expand the Brazilian presence in this market. “This partnership is an important milestone for us, not only because it will allow us to have access to safe and reliable data from this important market, which will help us in making decisions and developing more assertive actions in order to promote halal meat produced in Brazil, which meets the most rigorous standards of quality, health and respect for Muslim precepts in the world”, explains Antônio Jorge Camardelli, President of ABIEC.
“FAMBRAS Halal is a pioneer in halal certifications in Brazil. We understand that our experience and knowledge need to be at the service of strengthening the beef export sector, an objective we share with ABIEC – an entity with which we have a long-standing relationship”, says Mohamed Zoghbi, president of FAMBRAS Halal. According to the executive, in this process, Sys Halal will play an extremely important role, an innovative system developed by Fambras that allows the management and traceability of plants and products, bringing more security and reliability throughout the certification process, serving both as the end consumer. “Brazil is the largest beef exporter in the world and we believe that more than half of the beef exported is halal. Halal are all products approved for consumption by Muslims, produced based on the precepts established by the Islamic religion. To be considered halal, the product, in its production process, cannot contain raw materials that put people's health and well-being at risk, nor harm the environment or use inadequate labor in the manufacturing process, among other features. “It's a way of life that, all over the world, has been arousing the interest not only of the 1.9 billion Muslims, but of all those who care about what they consume in every way”, says Zoghbi.
