Halal Quality Control

Halal Quality Control (HQC) is a Netherlands-based private halal certification organisation established in 1996, providing halal audit and certification services to food manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, ingredient suppliers, and cosmetics producers across Europe and internationally. The Netherlands is one of Europe's leading food processing and agrifood export nations — the world's second-largest agricultural exporter by value — and HQC serves a substantial client base of Dutch and European manufacturers supplying halal-sensitive global markets. HQC's halal certificates are recognised by JAKIM (Malaysia), MUIS (Singapore), BPJPH (Indonesia), and SFDA (Saudi Arabia), giving its certified clients access to the world's key halal import markets. HQC operates an extensive halal ingredient database and conducts rigorous ingredient reviews alongside facility audits, making it a technically strong certifier for complex processed food and pharmaceutical supply chains. HQC also provides halal training and e-learning programmes for food industry professionals.
