The Saudi Accreditation Center (SAC) today announced it has significantly expanded its halal certification reach by authorizing two certification bodies, one in Brazil and another in Australia. This move aligns these key markets with the rigorous standards of the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO 2055-2). Through comprehensive on-site assessments, SAC verified that the newly accredited bodies meet the highest technical and administrative criteria, and ensure adherence to Sharia principles. From livestock production to food processing, every stage of the halal supply chain has been meticulously evaluated. By extending its global network of accredited certifiers, SAC is reinforcing Saudi Arabia's position as a global leader in halal standards. This development will bolster trust and transparency in the international halal market, facilitating market entry for businesses seeking to tap into the growing Saudi halal industry. SAC's commitment to collaborating with domestic and global partners is instrument al in driving the halal industry forward, according to the center. Source: Saudi Press Agency
