Within the last two decades or so, kosher and halal markets have become global in scope and states, manufacturers, restaurants, shops, certifiers and consumers around the world are faced with ever stricter and more complex kosher and halal requirements – most clearly exemplified by Muslim and Jewish groups’ call for kosher and halal certification by third party certification bodies. During this period hundreds of halal and kosher certifiers have emerged around the world, and while thousands of manufacturers, restaurants, and shops have been certified, the majority have not. While kosher and halal requirements are comparable there are also many differences and the book discusses how these similarities and differences affect production, trade and regulation around the world. The proposed handbook is to a large extent based on extended periods of research carried out among states bureaucracies, manufacturers, restaurants, shops, certifiers, and consumers.

There is a pressing need to address kosher and halal markets simultaneously; many companies that have undergone kosher certification indicate that halal certification is more easily acquired if the company is kosher certified in the first place. John Lever and Johan Fischer characterize the expanding kosher and halal markets and explain how businesses can comply with rising demands.
