We do not need the HALAL certification as 90% citizens of this country: SABS is South Africa’s national standards body. It sets secular technical standards (SANS) for product quality, safety and hygiene, including food. The SABS mark confirms compliance with those rules. Halaal is a separate voluntary religious certification by private bodies like SANHA or MJC. It checks Islamic dietary rules (no pork, specific slaughter, no contamination) for Muslim consumers or exports. They are unrelated. Food safety and cleanliness in SA are governed by SABS standards plus laws from Health and Agriculture departments, not religious marks.
