Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America

IFANCA (Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America), established in 1982, is North America's leading and most internationally recognised halal certification organisation. Headquartered in the United States, IFANCA certifies food products, food ingredients, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and pharmaceuticals for compliance with Islamic dietary law. Its crescent-M halal mark is accepted by import authorities and Muslim consumers across more than 50 countries, including Malaysia (JAKIM-recognised), Singapore (MUIS-recognised), and Gulf Cooperation Council markets. IFANCA operates a rigorous audit and inspection programme and provides halal training and education to manufacturers. For North American and multinational companies seeking to access global halal markets, IFANCA certification is the benchmark credential that bridges domestic production standards with international Muslim consumer expectations. IFANCA Europe extends this reach across the European Union.
