Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) Comprehensive Accountability Assessment: 32% Credibility Score, Grade F

A halal mark should explain the rules behind the approval

Consumers seeking halal-certified products rely on transparent and verifiable standards to ensure that their religious dietary requirements are met. When certification bodies do not fully disclose their governance, personnel qualifications, or provide public certificate traceability, it becomes challenging for consumers and industry stakeholders to verify the integrity of the certification process.

Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) is an Illinois-based halal certification body that provides certification services for various industries. This assessment evaluates the organization's public accountability, transparency, and the verifiable evidence supporting its certification claims.

Who Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) is

Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) is an Illinois-based nonprofit organization established in 2022 that provides halal certification services for the food, cosmetics, and clothing industries in domestic and international markets [1] [2]. The organization publicly operates through its website and presents a certification process that includes application, audit, supervision, and certificate issuance [1].

While the organization's nonprofit status and two directors are publicly identifiable, a complete current board, control rights, and related-party structure are not publicly established [1]. The organization describes a Majlis oversight concept, but member identities, appointments, and decision authority remain incomplete in the public record [1].

Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) Organizational accountability and public certification-criteria disclosure: 32% Credibility Score · Grade F · Insufficiently substantiated

Moderate confidence. Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) receives a Credibility Score of 32%, Grade F. Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) is an Illinois-based halal certification body that publicly discloses specific religious criteria, including prohibitions on mechanical slaughter and stunning. However, it earns a 32% Credibility Score (Grade F) due to the lack of verified exact-entity accreditation, a public certificate registry, and complete disclosure of its governance and personnel qualifications.

This organizational accountability assessment measures the evidence supporting identity, control, responsible people, Islamic authority, halal-specific work, standards, public certification criteria, certificate controls, correction access, and demonstrated operations. The existing series label is editorial branding and is not itself an allegation. Flags explain evidence already scored inside the twelve fixed metrics and create no separate bonus or penalty. The assessment is not a religious ruling, legal judgment, fraud finding, guarantee, or declaration that every certificate is valid or invalid. An undisclosed item is not treated as proof that no internal control exists.

Halal Certification Body Accountability Assessment version 2.5. Source cutoff September 13, 2026. Last reviewed September 14, 2026. Raw Credibility Score 31.6750 out of 100, ordinarily displayed as 32%.

How USDHS calculates the Credibility Score

Each metric is 60 percent control assurance, 25 percent operational evidence, and 15 percent public evidence. Government records and other authoritative public sources count even when the certifier does not reproduce them on its own website. A recognized accreditation of the exact entity and scope can support the control layer and part of operational evidence; it never creates public-evidence credit or transfers across entities without the required bridge. Classification bands: A, 90 to 100, strongly substantiated; B, 80 to 89, substantiated; C, 70 to 79, partially substantiated; D, 60 to 69, material gaps; F, 0 to 59, insufficiently substantiated.

Credibility Score interpretation

• The raw Credibility Score is 31.6750 out of 100 and is ordinarily rounded to 32%.
• The four responsible-person and core halal-control metrics earned 18.1250 of 64 points, or 28.32%.
• The Grade and evidence confidence are separate: the Grade follows the rounded Credibility Score, while confidence describes how firmly the available record supports that result.
• Red and green flags summarize evidence already reflected in the twelve metric factors; they do not add or subtract separate points.

Material records are rescored under the same rules, whether they raise or lower the result. Submit documentary evidence through the secure evidence and correction form. An authorized representative may claim this certification body with qualifying documents. A verified claim does not confer editorial control or automatically change an article, Credibility Score, Grade, ranking, or certification status.

Entity, accreditation, and scope boundary

The assessed entity is Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc., an Illinois nonprofit organization [1]. The assessment encompasses its halal certification services for the food, cosmetics, and clothing industries [2].

Currently, no exact-entity accreditation has been verified for the organization [1]. Additionally, while the organization offers multiple service categories, recent certificates and workload-to-personnel capacity are not publicly established [1].

This accountability assessment applies the published USDHS methodology as an evidence-review framework; it does not replace the controlling HIPS standard or make a religious ruling on every certificate or product.

Public certification criteria and position disclosure

Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) certifies according to its own Operating Principles and Halal Criteria, which are based on the Quran and Sunnah [2] [3]. The organization prohibits mechanical slaughter for poultry, requiring that slaughter be performed manually by a sane adult Muslim [4]. Furthermore, it requires that the animal be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and that the slaughter act sever the trachea, esophagus, and both jugular veins [3] [4].

The organization does not accept any form of stunning [3]. Blessing (Tasmiyyah) must be pronounced verbally by the slaughterer on each individual bird [4]. Pork and its by-products are prohibited in certified facilities [2]. While alcohol use is prohibited, the organization allows residues of ethanol up to 5000 parts per million (0.5%) [5].

All ingredients and processing aids, such as rennet and gelatin, must be verified as halal or derived from plant or microbial sources [5]. In processing plants where both halal and non-halal production occur, halal production must be performed in a separate unit or an approved segregated area, or it must precede non-halal production with thorough prior cleansing [3]. The organization also expects that all machines and equipment are thoroughly cleaned or sanitized before halal processing [2].

The organization's certified scope includes food, cosmetics, clothing, meat, poultry, dairy, bakery, and health/beauty products [2]. ANT8S mentions QR traceability for its vegan-certification program [6], but the reviewed source did not establish that this feature applies to halal certification. However, the exact version controls and effective dates for its published standards are not publicly disclosed, and there is no public disclosure on whether material religious positions are printed on certificates [1].

Credibility Score and evidence-bounded conclusion

Al Nur Truly Halal Services Inc. (ANT8S) provides a publicly documented certification process and discloses specific religious criteria, but its public accountability is limited by unverified personnel qualifications, missing exact-entity accreditation, and the absence of a public certificate register [1].

While the organization clearly states its positions on critical issues such as mechanical slaughter and stunning, the lack of verifiable implementation evidence—such as current client certificates or independent accreditation—prevents independent verification of its operational capacity and consistent application of its standards [1] [2].

Corrections, appeals, and claiming this certification body

(ANT8S) or another affected party may submit responsive records through the [secure documentary-evidence form](/submit-evidence?subject=Al%20Nur%20Truly%20Halal%20Services%20Inc.%20(ANT8S)&article=https%3A%2F%2Fhalalstandards.org%2Finsights%2Fal-nur-truly-halal-services-accountability-assessment). Material evidence is evaluated under the same methodology whether it raises or lowers the Credibility Score.

The claimant must document their identity, role, and authority to act for the exact assessed entity, and that authority must be verified through qualifying documentation and an independently confirmable official contact channel.
