The speakers lauded the efforts for Halal Food, writing off widespread suspicion, and rectified the ongoing frustration on Halal certification. There are around 1.3 billion Muslims in the world and 1.5 billion Halal consumers, which means that one out of every four human beings consumer use Halal products.
The difference of 0.2 billion between the Halal consumers and Muslims is accounted for by non-Muslims living in Muslim majority countries where most foods are Halal. In USA and Europe, like everyone else, Muslims have a very busy life style. Increasing daily activities at work and home do not allow them to prepare meals at home.-PR
