Kosher and Halal Food Safety Profiled in Quality Digest

(OPENPRESS) April 28, 2007 -- BatchMaster Software, Inc. has provided advanced ERP solutions for over two decades with more than one thousand five hundred installations worldwide. BatchMaster’s customers can be found in every formula or recipe-based business, including food, beverage, cosmetic, personal care, paint, coating, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries. Flexible, easy to learn and use, and scalable to grow with a process manufacturing business, BatchMaster is the definitive solution for the challenges facing small to midsize process manufacturers. BatchMaster has more than a hundred technical staff numbers of highly-qualified software professionals.

Quality Digest recently profiled the role of BatchMaster as one of the industries food ERP leaders and some of the nuances of kosher and halal foods.

Food allergies and sensitivities affect one-third of all Americans, and kosher foods’ clear labeling makes it easy for consumers to find dairy- and meat-free products. The U.S. Jewish population is shrinking while the Muslim population is growing, which ironically is rejuvenating the kosher market, because the dietary restrictions for Muslims are similar to those for Jews.

Halal food products—those complying with Islamic dietary rules—represent an $80 billion world market in 2007. For meat to be halal, an animal has to be slaughtered in a ritual way known as Zibah. Halal is like kosher in that it requires animals to be healthy at the time of slaughter, because carrion is forbidden. In addition, the animal’s jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe have to be severed by a razor-sharp knife in a single swipe, so as to cause as little pain as possible. The difference is that a rabbi will read from the kashruth, and a Muslim will recite tanmiya.

ISO 22000 is the newest international standard for food safety management systems and requires a rigorous ISO audit to confirm eligibility. ISO 22000 emphasizes communication, systems management, prerequisite programs and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s HACCP principles to ensure complete food safety along the food chain. Manufacturing facilities must be structured to dynamically integrate quality and food safety management programs, assuring the ability to produce high-quality, safe products.

According BatchMaster’s vice president, Preston Blevins, “Technology solutions must help food manufacturers achieve ISO 22000 certification. The combination of kosher and halal qualifications, as well as ISO 22000, allows food manufacturers to keep a higher commitment to quality.”

In the current issue of Quality Digest manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiles how BatchMaster ERP is central to food safety. The article may be read in its entirety at: http://qualitydigest.com/IQedit/QDarticle_text.lasso?articleid=12074

MS 1500: Halal Management System

Malaysian Standard
MALAYSIAN STANDARD ON HALAL FOOD (MS 1500:2004)
The Malaysian Standard entitled ‘Halal Food: Production, Preparation, Handling and Storage – General Guidelines’ (MS 1500:2004) was developed under the Malaysian Standard Development System under the responsibility of Department of Standards Malaysia (DSM), Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
This Malaysian Standard is one of the five initiatives of the Government to realize the Malaysia as a Halal Food Hub.
This standard was developed by a National Industry Standards Committee on Halal Standard (ISC I), which was represented by various organizations including JAKIM, as the Chairman for the related Technical Committee (please refer Annex 1 for the overall standards development system in Malaysia and the relationship of ISC I in the system).
Scope of this standard is to prescribe practical guidelines for the food industry on the preparation and handling of halal food (including nutrient supplements) and to serve as a basic requirement for food product and food trade or business in Malaysia. It will be used by JAKIM as the basis for certification but will be supplemented by many other requirements for comprehensiveness of the certification process.
The summary of the development of Malaysian Standard on Halal Food is an Annex 2.
The document has undergone a process in accordance to the international standards requirement i.e. the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), whereby an international standards development system is based on consensus of all interested parties such as the Government, private sector, NGOs, researchers and professional bodies. Malaysia (DSM) subscribes to the same ISO policy.
In the future, it is hope that this Malaysian Standard (an official Government document) could be promoted overseas and recognized by other nations or blocs such as US, Europe, China, ASEAN countries, etc.
