Uttar Pradesh Govt has banned the production, storage, distribution, and sale of Halal-certified food with immediate effect. UP Police has registered cases against several companies for allegedly selling Halal-certified products using forged documents. A Halal certificate indicates that a product has been prepared in accordance with Islamic law and is suitable for consumption by Muslims. ‘Halal’ is an Arabic word that means permissible as opposed to 'haram'. The FIR was registered in Hazratganj Kotwali on a complaint of Shailesh Sharma. According to the statement by the UP government, there are no provisions for marking halal certification on labels in the government rules related to drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics, nor is there any mention of halal certification in the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and its related rules. Any direct or indirect mention of halal certification on the labels of medicines, medical devices, or cosmetics constitutes falsification under the said Act, making it a punishable offence. This is not the first time that there has been a controversy over Halal-certified food. Earlier, there had been a Halal controversy over Halal-tea premix being used on Vande-Bharat train and even the use of halal-certified jaggery to prepare the prasadam at the Sabarimala temple.
