GE's Dairy Membrane Products Receive HALAL Certification
GE announced recently that the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA) has certified GE’s dairy membrane products as HALAL according the IFANCA standards and qualifications. The 18 membrane products certified are produced at GE’s Membrane Center of Excellence in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and at GE’s membrane rolling manufacturing facility in Oroszlany, Hungary.
The dairy industry has undergone several mergers and acquisitions so that the main dairy producers now serve a global customer base. This requires that manufacturers such as GE seek out new certifications that meet the needs of a geographically and culturally diverse customer base. GE’s longstanding history in the dairy industry has been to make sure its dairy products comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations and European directives to ensure product safety. Receiving the HALAL certification is another chapter for GE in providing the dairy industry with high quality, safe spiral wound membranes.
