Halal Access Partners is not a certification body. Layers marked "Compliant" or "Non-compliant" reflect our assessment based on public documents, uploaded certificates and supplier-submitted evidence — they are not a certifier's ruling. Rows tagged AI-inferred were extracted by our classifier and have not yet been reviewed by a human analyst.
Third-party certificates on file are shown as evidence with their original scope, expiry and issuer — always verify them with the certifier before purchase. See ourmethodology.
Halal Compliance Stack
Every supplier is assessed across seven independent layers. Layers marked "unassessed" are shown honestly — they haven't been proven either way.
Raw-material inputs have been AI-assessed; buyer diligence should verify supplier declarations and halal evidence for each flagged input.
| Status | Input | Why it matters | Source | Status | Flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fermented ingredients (e.g., B vitamins, CoQ10) — | Culture media must be free from porcine peptone or other non-halal animal derivatives [2, 6, 7]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Gelatin capsules — | Predominantly porcine-derived, requiring verification of bovine source and halal slaughter, or HPMC alternatives [2]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Glycerin — | Can be animal (tallow) derived; requires verification of vegetable source [2]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — | |
Magnesium stearate — | Can be porcine-derived; requires verification of vegetable (e.g., palm) source [2]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — | |
Omega-3 fatty acids — | Fish-derived is generally halal, but processing methods and species need verification [2, 6]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — | |
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) — | Typically from lanolin (sheep wool), generally considered halal, but source verification is needed [6]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
Orkla Health, as a nutrition and supplements company, faces significant halal compliance challenges, particularly with its raw materials. Several key inputs, such as Gelatin capsules and Magnesium stearate, are identified as high-risk due to potential porcine or non-halal animal origins [1, 2, 4]. Other ingredients like Vitamin D3 and Omega-3 fatty acids require verification of their specific source and processing to confirm halal status [5]. The company's overall halal position is currently 'unassessed', indicating a need for comprehensive supplier declarations and potential certification for these critical ingredients to meet the requirements of Muslim-majority markets.
