Currently accredited
A halal certificate is only as trustworthy as the organization that issued it. Accreditation is how that organization’s own work is checked, so this directory lists each certification body that has completed USDHS accreditation, together with the standards and dates that apply.

Accreditation checks the certifier, not the product.
A listing is not a halal certificate for any product, restaurant or facility. Nor is it a religious ruling or a guarantee. To know what a business is certified for, check the certificate its certifier issued to that business.
