About SANHA

SANHA is South Africa's best-known halal certifier, covering food, restaurants, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Many products in South African supermarkets carry its logo.

How to check a certificate

  • Look for the logo on the pack or a certificate displayed in the restaurant, with an expiry date.
  • Search the business or product on SANHA's official website.
  • Be wary of logos that look similar but are not the official mark.

Scholars differ on stunning and machine slaughter — see Is stunned meat halal? and machine-slaughtered chicken.
