Food producers are adopting these methods to maintain their position in the industry and to garner consumers’ trust. This particularly is going to aid the market growth in the coming years.
Demand for halal food products from the Muslim countries in the Middle East has amped up the demand for food-certification of meat products. Hence, food certifications continue to gain traction as a necessity with the globalization of the food sector.
