Dongwon Home Food announced on the 25th that it has established a halal-exclusive powder production line at its business site in Asan, and has received halal certification from the Indonesia Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH).
'Halal' is an Arabic term meaning 'permitted.' It refers to products that can be consumed or used by Muslims. In the case of food, certification is granted only to products that are produced, processed, and distributed in accordance with Islamic law. According to the Korea International Trade Association, the global halal food market size is expected to reach approximately $2 trillion (about 2800 trillion won) this year.
Dongwon Home Food is the leading domestic B2B (business-to-business) seasoning company, supplying sauces and powders to over 1,000 clients, including food corporations and restaurant franchises. It implements a variety of flavors tailored to clients' needs based on over 3,000 ingredients and more than 80,000 recipes. Recently, it has been launching an offensive in overseas markets led by K-sauces.
A representative of Dongwon Home Food noted, 'We obtained halal certification to meet client demands in line with the growth of the global halal market,' adding, 'We will expand the certification scope not only for powders but also for sauces, actively securing domestic and international clients.'
