Why Halal & Certified Matters

Halal certification confirms humane handling and religious compliance, while internationally recognized food-safety systems protect your brand and customers.

Who Buys Halal Frozen Chicken?

Importers, HORECA distributors, supermarkets, and food manufacturers across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia rely on consistent supply, competitive pricing, and audited facilities.

Tip: Ask for current Halal, HACCP/ISO certificates and plant registration numbers in your supplier due diligence.

Available Cuts & Packaging Options

  • Whole Chicken (Griller)
  • Breast, Fillets, Inner Fillets
  • Wings (3-Joint, Mid-Joint)
  • Drumsticks & Thighs
  • Leg Quarters
  • Paws/Feet (for specific markets)

Packaging: IQF or block-frozen; polybag or carton; custom net weight (e.g., 10kg). Private-label available on request.

Popular SKUs: wings, drumsticks, leg quarters, and breast fillets.

Quality Standards & Cold-Chain

Food safety starts at the plant and continues through transport. Maintain −18 °C or below from blast-freezer to final delivery, monitor temperatures, and use calibrated data loggers.

Shipping Terms & Lead Times

Common Incoterms: FOB, CFR, and CIF. Understand your responsibilities using the ICC Incoterms framework.

  • Transit & Routing: Reefer containers with continuous temperature logging.
  • Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, health certificate, Halal certificate, B/L, and country-specific permits.
  • Inspection: Pre-shipment quality checks and third-party audits where required.

Cold-Chain Must-Haves

  • Core temperature ≤ −18 °C at loading
  • Sealed, clean reefer containers
  • Placement to allow airflow between cartons

Consider adding an independent pre-shipment inspection for extra assurance.

How to Place a Bulk Order (Step-by-Step)

  1. Define Specs: Cuts, grade, Halal market, packaging, MOQ.
  2. Compliance Check: Request current Halal, HACCP/ISO, and plant approvals.
  3. Quotation & Terms: Confirm Incoterm (FOB/CIF), currency, and validity.
  4. Contract & Deposit: Issue PI, agree on production slot and ETD/ETA.
  5. Production & QC: Approve labels; arrange third-party inspection if needed.
  6. Shipping & Documents: Receive draft docs for pre-clearance.
  7. Arrival & Clearance: Coordinate with your customs broker.
