The Turkish government established a new Halal Accreditation Authority (HAK) on November 18, 2017. It will provide halal accreditation services to halal conformity assessment institutions and replaces the former body which was part of the broader Turk Accreditation Authority. The Turkish public remains skeptical about the value of additional Halal certification processes in Turkey. Halal certification is voluntary in Turkey.
