The halal food and beverage industry has also made a significant impact on supermarkets and other food business such as restaurants. French supermarkets had halal food sales totaling $210 million in 2011, a 10.5% growth from 5 years prior. In France, the market for halal foods is even larger than the market for other types of common foods. For example, in 2010, the market for halal foods and beverages in France was nearly twice that of organic foods.[29] Auchan, a large French supermarket chain, now sells 80 certified halal meat products, along with 30 pre-cooked halal meals and 40 frozen halal products. Upscale restaurants and catering services have also added halal foods to their menus. In addition, many beverage companies such as Evian have taken the effort to add a halal stamp on their products to show that their water and other beverages are pure and not haram, or forbidden under Islamic law.[30]

Halal certification in the USA
Halal certifications are provided by two major non-profit agencies in the United States, namely, Halal Monitoring Services (HMS), based out of Chicago, IL[25] and Halal Food Standards Alliance of America (HFSAA), based out of Oakland, CA.[26]

Certification

An example of a halal certificate from India
Halal food certification has been criticized by anti-halal lobby groups and individuals on social media,[22] who claim that certifying foods as halal leads to consumers subsidising a particular religious belief.[23] Australian Federation of Islamic Councils spokesman Keysar Trad told a journalist in July 2014 that this was an attempt to exploit anti-Muslim sentiments in Australia.[24]

Opinions on GMO foods are mixed, although there is no widely accepted prohibition from consuming them.[18] Some clerics and scholars have expressed support, arguing that such food production methods are halal because they contribute to human well-being.[19][20] Voices in opposition to GMOs argue that there is no need for genetic modification of food crops because God created everything perfectly and man does not have any right to manipulate anything that God has created.[18] Some others have raised concern about the theoretical consumption of specific GMO foods produced using genes from pigs.[21]
