Processing Excellence

Goat Split

IMP operates state-of-the-art processing facilities that seamlessly integrate Zabiha halal requirements with USDA standards and export compliance. Our commitment to religious integrity, food safety, and cold chain excellence ensures products meet the highest standards for global markets.

Zabiha Halal Processing

Our Zabiha halal program goes beyond basic certification to ensure complete Sharia compliance throughout the slaughter and processing operation. We maintain the highest standards of religious observance while achieving industrial-scale efficiency.

  • Muslim slaughtermen trained in proper Zabiha techniques and religious requirements
  • Individual blessing (Bismillah) pronounced for each animal at time of slaughter
  • Continuous oversight by recognized halal certification authorities
  • Complete segregation of halal products throughout processing and storage
  • Blockchain-enabled traceability from farm to final package

Halal Integrity Systems

Pre-Slaughter: Animal welfare protocols ensuring calm handling, proper rest, and access to water in accordance with Islamic principles.

Slaughter Process: Sharp knives maintained to Islamic specifications, proper positioning toward Qibla, and complete blood drainage.

Post-Slaughter: Dedicated halal production lines, equipment, and storage areas with comprehensive cleaning protocols between species.
