Widget for finding Halal products
PETALING JAYA (Malaysia): The Halal Industry Development Corporation (HDC) has launched the world’s first Halal Directory widget that can be embedded within web portals and blogs.
The directory (tinyurl.com/ktcomw) offers information on halal products and services certified by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) and HDC, said Miti Nurbaya Zainudin, HDC’s corporate services vice-president.
Currently, the directory lists the halal status of more than 15,000 products by 1,400 local and international companies registered with the two agencies.
Jakim manages the applications for halal certification, auditing process, monitoring and enforcement, while HDC has been tasked to further boost the halal agenda in terms of standards development, branding and commercialisation.
Previously, users could check out the information only through the HDC website, she said.
“Now, thanks to the widget more users will be able to access the directory directly from their favourite web portals and blogs,” she said.
HDC is also exploring the idea of enabling the widget to be installed and used in social networking sites such as Facebook and on mobile devices powered by Symbian and Windows Mobile operating systems as well as the iPhone, said Miti.
