Danisco gains Halal certification for meat cultures
Danisco’s is now able to offer cured processed meat cultures for Halal foods, following the certification of its plant in Dangé Saint Romain, France.
The Texel range of maturation and surface cultures for cured processed meats are used to provide appealing taste, colour and texture throughout product shelf life. Certification was by MUI, Indonesia’s top clerical body.
“Like all aspects of quality, demand for halal-certified products is increasing, and there is still a lack of mainstream food products with a halal label,” says Laurent Zindel, Danisco product service manager. “The certification of our plants helps us provide our customers with the best possible choice.”
According to Euromonitor, Europe’s growing Muslim population is currently estimated at 25-30 million.
