The Okuno Law Office in Arita-cho, Saga Prefecture, is now offering the first service in the country to conduct the procedures for gaining halal certification for food products sold in Islamic countries. Islam has strict rules for the processing of beef and other products, and requires that those products be certified before they can be sold or consumed. Many companies in Japan do not have the staff or expertise to handle those arrangements, which include documentation from certification agencies, on-site inspection of processing plants, and the translation of those documents into English.
