PARMALAT’S YOGHURTS ARE HALAAL-VERIFIED AND CERTIFIED BY MJC

06 June 2018

The quality of the products it offers to consumers is of the utmost importance to Parmalat and our entire yoghurt range is Halaal-verified and certified by the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC). The ingredients and processes used, as well as Parmalat’s factories, also have MJC-accreditation.

Parmalat is sensitive to and respectful of the individual dietary needs of consumers of various religious backgrounds. The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) Halaal Trust’s accreditation of Parmalat yoghurts makes it fit for consumption by Muslim consumers. The company has complied with the MJC-guidelines for many years. The yoghurt range’s ingredients and processes rigorously adhere to the MJC’s guidelines and also meet Parmalat’s own demanding quality standards.

The MJC is an organisation entrusted by the Muslim community with ensuring that food consumed is Halaal. The MJC has been active in South Africa since 1945 and its approval for Parmalat’s yoghurts is in line with universally accepted Halaal certification standards. The MJC has confirmed that all Parmalat’s ingredients, processes and factories have adhered to MJC regulations and have been verified and accredited. The Council’s certificate of approval for yoghurt is also adhered to by other leading yoghurt suppliers.
