GELITA AG
Halal Compliance Stack
Every supplier is assessed across seven independent layers. Layers marked "unassessed" are shown honestly — they haven't been proven either way.
| Input | Why it matters | Source | Status | Flag | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Collagenase | Collagenase is an animal-derived enzyme, posing a high risk for halal compliance [1]. | — | Non-halal | — | |
Excipients (general) | Excipients are the highest-risk category in pharmaceuticals due to common animal-derived default sources like magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and glycerin, which require source verification [1, E422, E470b]. | — | Non-halal | — | |
Fermentation media | If GELITA AG uses fermentation in its processes, the culture medium must be verified to ensure no pork-based peptone is used, which would render the product non-halal [1, E415, E418]. | — | Mashbooh | — | |
Gelatin (pharmaceutical grade) | Gelatin is a critical excipient in pharmaceuticals, predominantly porcine-derived (80%) or bovine (20%). Porcine gelatin is haram, and bovine requires halal slaughter verification [1, E441]. | — | Non-halal | — | |
Heparin | Heparin is traditionally porcine-derived (pork intestine mucosa), which is haram. Bovine alternatives exist but require verification [1]. | — | Non-halal | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
GELITA AG, operating in the pharma sector, has a human-verified certification from Halal Certification Islamic Centre Aachen, confirming L1 corporate/site level compliance. However, the overall halal position remains 'unassessed' at deeper levels (L2-L7). Given the company's likely involvement with gelatin and other excipients, there are significant halal risks. Gelatin, a core product for GELITA, is a critical control point; its source (porcine vs. halal-slaughtered bovine) must be rigorously verified for any products targeting Muslim-majority markets [1, E441]. Similarly, other high-risk ingredients like collagenase and heparin, if used, require careful assessment of their animal origin and processing. European B2B buyers should request detailed documentation on raw material sourcing and manufacturing processes to ensure compliance with target market requirements, especially for markets like MY, ID, and SA where certifier recognition and ingredient scrutiny are high.
