About IFANCA
IFANCA is one of the largest halal certifiers in North America, certifying ingredients, food products, supplements and cosmetics. Its crescent-M logo is widely seen on US products and on ingredients used by manufacturers worldwide.
How to check a certificate
- Look for the logo on the pack or a certificate displayed in the restaurant, with an expiry date.
- Search the business or product on IFANCA's official website.
- Be wary of logos that look similar but are not the official mark.
