What is HALAL ?
HALAL means in Arabic „the permitted„ or „the pure “. In accordance with Islamic rite a Muslim may use not only food and cleaning agents as well as body care products and others, which are “ritually pure“ (tahir). Additionally the use must be permitted after Islamic right. Both aspects together make the product for the Muslim permissible (halal).

- Pork and all components of the pig
- Sacrificial animals of other religions
- Meat of dead animals
- Meat of carnivorous animals
- All products of animals, which were not killed after Islamic rite
- Alcohol of any kind
- Everything which is polluted or came into contact with the afore mentioned
