Halal expertise. Swiss competence. Global perspective.
Consulting, auditing and market access for the food industry — with more than 16 years of halal audit experience and hands-on practice in quality management, supply chain and operations.
Compliance today. Opportunities tomorrow.
Halal is not a certificate. Halal is a system.
A certificate on the wall means little if raw material assessment has gaps, if production cannot rule out cross-contamination, or if supplier documentation does not hold up. That is where I come in.
I help companies build a halal assurance system that withstands scrutiny by a certification body — and that works in day-to-day operations.
How I support you
Halal Compliance
Building and developing your halal assurance system — from gap analysis to a plan you can actually implement.
Halal Auditing
Internal audits, supplier audits and pre-certification audits. Also on behalf of international certification bodies.
International Market Access
Which requirements apply in Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia or the UAE? I develop the right certification strategy with you.
Halal Certification Readiness
An assessment of your compliance status before the official audit, with a prioritised action plan.
For Certification Bodies
External audits, local audit planning and representation in Switzerland — on behalf of international halal certification bodies.
Hospitality & Food Service
Menu, kitchen and sourcing for restaurants, hotels and chains — so Muslim guests find what they are looking for.
Halal expertise meets the food industry.
More than 16 years of halal audit experience
Hundreds of processes, raw materials and management systems assessed — I know what an auditor looks for before the question is asked.
I know production, not just the standard
Leadership experience in quality management, supply chain and operations in the Swiss food industry. My recommendations can be implemented on the shop floor.
A local contact in Switzerland
Short distances, same time zone, same language — for Swiss and European companies as well as international certification bodies.
Access to the relevant export markets
Halal requirements differ considerably from country to country. I know the differences and the recognition logic behind them.
Independent and clear
Traceable analysis instead of a convenient opinion. You will learn where you stand — even when that is uncomfortable.
Is your certification audit coming up?
With a Halal Certification Readiness Assessment I review your compliance status before the official certification audit takes place. You receive a clear picture of existing gaps and a prioritised action plan.
For international halal certification bodies
Your local audit partner in Switzerland.
BERA Halal Consulting supports international halal certification bodies that need experienced local audit capacity in Switzerland and Europe.
External halal audits · Surveillance audits · Recertification audits · Audit coordination · Corrective action follow-up · Communication with Swiss clients
Certification decisions and the issuing of certificates remain entirely with the respective halal certification body.
Let us talk about your halal project.
Whether it is a first certification, a new export market or a single raw material you are unsure about — a conversation is the fastest way to an assessment.
