NEWS IN BRIEF
BioCell now offers halal collagen certified by two different organizations
The company tapped two different organizations to provide the halal certification—The Islamic Society of the Washington Area (ISWA) and Halal Quality Control/Halal Certification Germany.
“We are pleased to now offer finished goods manufacturers' choices to meet the needs of their consumers with this additional grade of BioCell Collagen,” said Suhail Ishaq, President of BioCell Technology. “Global consumer demand made it possible for us to seek certifications from these two groups.”
The ingredient is used in finished products ranging from topical lotions to powder dietary supplements for ingestion. It was designed for products marketed for its joint health benefits, such as facilitating normal joint recovery following exercise, or helping to boost skin elasticity and firmness.
![“The availability [of Halal ingredients] now has become less of an issue, and we now focus our energy on creating the optimal product formulation rather than simply just trying to find whatever Halal source we can get for our product,” said NoorVitamins CEO Dr. Mohamed Issa](/var/wrbm_gb_food_pharma/storage/images/_aliases/wrbm_medium/publications/food-beverage-nutrition/nutraingredients-usa.com/article/2018/04/16/as-availability-of-halal-certified-ingredients-continues-to-rise-noorvitamins-shifts-focus-to-optimizing-formulations/8086172-3-eng-GB/As-availability-of-Halal-certified-ingredients-continues-to-rise-NoorVitamins-shifts-focus-to-optimizing-formulations.jpg)
