Verify Halal App is a smartphone application endorsed by JAKIM, developed to empower consumers and retailers with the ability to instantly verify the Halal accreditation of a product by simply scanning a barcode or QR code using their smartphone cameras. Its features include a location-based service that allows users to pin and tag the location of Halal goods for easy viewing by other consumers looking for the same products within a 20 km radius. Verify Halal™ features JAKIM and JAKIM’s recognized International Halal Certification Bodies, Products, Brands, Premises, and Abattoirs.
Users can scan product barcodes or QR codes to instantly check the Halal certification status, saving time compared to manual searches.
Access Multinational Certified Products
With partnerships from over 30 international Halal bodies, including those in the Philippines, India, New Zealand, and Japan, users can verify products from multiple countries through an up-to-date database.
Trusted Repository Backed by Authorities
Powered by Malaysia’s JAKIM Global Halal Data Pool, the app ensures reliable data sourced from accredited certifiers, helping consumers avoid uncertified or misleading items.
Simplicity & User-Friendly Experience
It is easy to use this app to access the Halal status of products. And this does not only include food but also items such as cosmetics. Users can also hit a "like" when they are satisfied with a product, which boosts other consumers’ confidence in the same product.
Avoiding False Reassurance
Unlike generic ingredient-checking apps, Verify Halal ties directly to official certifying bodies, particularly JAKIM, significantly reducing the risk of relying on ambiguous or potentially misleading ingredient labels.
Community-Driven Location Tagging
A built-in feature lets users tag where they bought certified products, building communal awareness and helping others find Halal goods nearby.
