27th September 2024. CuanTec announced today that it has received Halal certification for its Chitosan products. This certification builds upon its previous management-standard certifications for ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, and reassures Muslim customers that CuanTec’s Chitosan is, under Halal certification, permitted and lawful in Islam. With CuanTec’s Chitosan being considered for such diverse applications in Biomedical devices for its therapeutic properties, in water purification as a high-performance green flocculant, and others, Halal certification is necessary.
CuanTec has been working closely with its Halal-certification body to ensure that they have full visibility of CuanTec’s supply chain and manufacturing process, in order that they are satisfied that the product is produced in accordance with Islamic Guidelines and Practices.
CuanTec will continue to ensure that it, through transparency of its full supply chain, provides customers with the necessary reassurance they require for the provenance and quality of CuanTec’s Chitosan.
Rupert Maitland-Titterton, CEO commented: “Talking with all our customers, they demand full transparency of the supply chain so that they can have confidence in the provenance of the Chitosan they buy from us. I am delighted that we have received the Halal accreditation as this is further evidence of our sourcing and manufacturing standards. CuanTec are delighted that they can produce Chitosan to the Halal standards, in order to reassure our Muslim customers.”
