I was wondering about this as it was brought up recently.

    They have to use separate equipment for all halal foods than non-halal. They have to use special cleaning supplies that are compliant and have no non-Halal ingredients.

          How are they different? It’s halal brand soap and that’s the difference?

          “How is halal stuff done differently?”

          “Oh, you have to do it differently.” / “it’s cleaned with different chemicals."

          … Neat. You can tell it’s different by how it is… I guess.

      I mean, not for a lot of food production. We had Halal cert at our grain mill and a few other places I’ve worked at, and we never treated the food differently. Same with Kosher. They just send someone out to extort your business for certificate renewal.

        You’re supposed to. If they don’t they are lying to their customers. They don’t want it to touch the grills that were used for pork etc.
