Why Sweden asks for a legalised halal certificate
A halal certificate confirms that a product, or the plant that makes it, meets halal requirements. Meat, poultry, food ingredients, cosmetics and some pharmaceuticals need it for Muslim-majority markets. Halal certificates are issued by halal certification bodies in India; many importing countries accept only certifiers recognised by their own halal authority.
Food imports into Europe follow strict rules, and some importers ask for apostilled certificates as part of their supplier file.
In Sweden, a legalised halal certificate is typically requested for food and meat import clearance; it is also used for retail listing and product registration for cosmetics and ingredients.
A halal certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Sweden accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
