The purpose of this New Zealand Export Halal Scheme is to provide the requirements for certification bodies seeking to be recognised as Approved Halal Organisations [AHO] under the ‘Animal Products Notice: General Export Requirements for Halal Animal Material and Halal Animal Products’ (Halal Meat Notice) and ‘Animal Products Notice: General Export Requirements for Halal Dairy Material and Halal Dairy Products’ (Halal Dairy Notice).
The New Zealand Export Halal Scheme will clarify the scheme owner’s (i.e. the Ministry for Primary Industries’ [MPI]) expectations of Halal certification bodies (i.e. AHOs) for halal certification activities and periodic assessments. This will help the scheme manager (i.e. the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand [JAS-ANZ]) conduct their assessments and audits so that the AHOs can receive and retain the AS/NZS ISO/IEC 17065: 2013 accreditation.
