The three labels
| Label | What it means | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Halal certified | A valid halal certificate covers this exact product | Issuing body, certificate number, the products and site it covers, and the validity dates |
| Sukon reviewed | The Sukon team has reviewed the ingredients and documents; no certificate covers the product | Ingredient list, manufacturer details and any supporting documents |
| Seller declared | The seller states the product is halal; no certificate is provided | The seller’s declaration under the Seller Terms |
Products that need a certificate
- Packaged food, sweets, honey and dates products sold as halal certified
- Cosmetics, skincare and personal-care products sold as halal certified
- Any product that contains gelatine or animal-derived ingredients — these must be halal-certified to be listed at all
Products that are never allowed
- Alcohol, and perfumes or sprays that contain alcohol
- Pork and pork products, and non-halal gelatine
- Fresh meat, poultry, frozen food and ready meals (these categories are closed on Sukon)
How we check a certificate
- The certificate must come from a recognised certifying body and name the product, brand or production site
- It must be current — we record the expiry date and remove the label when it lapses
- The seller must keep the certificate up to date and tell us of any change
- We may ask the certifying body to confirm a certificate, and we may test or inspect products
Attar and fragrances
Attar and fragrances must be alcohol-free. The seller confirms this for every listing and we may ask for the formula.
If you have a concern
Write to grievance@sukon.in. We look into it within 48 hours, remove the label or the listing while we check, and tell you the outcome. Sellers who misuse a halal label are suspended under the Seller Terms.
A label is our honest description of the evidence we hold. It is not a religious ruling. If you need certainty for your own practice, check the certificate details shown on the product page.
