Disclaimer & listing standards

We are a directory, not a certifier

Halal Local BC does not independently certify, inspect or audit any business unless a listing explicitly states otherwise. Labels describe where information came from, not a ruling on whether a business or product is halal.

We never describe a listing as “certified by us”, “guaranteed halal”, “approved halal” or similar. If you see wording like that on our site, please tell us.

Halal information

• Halal details are provided by the business, by community contributors, or taken from third-party documentation the business has shared with us.
• Practices change. Suppliers, menus and certifications can change without notice.
• If you have specific dietary or religious requirements, please confirm directly with the business before you buy or order.

Documentation

• Businesses can upload certificates or other documents when they submit or claim a listing.
• Uploaded documents are stored privately and are not published on the site.
• When our team has looked at a document, its status may show as “reviewed”. Reviewed means we have seen it. It does not mean we certify the business.
• Documents may expire. We may mark documentation as out of date if we learn it has lapsed.

What we need before publishing

• Business name, category and city
• At least one way to contact the business
• A short description
• A status label that reflects where the information came from

Corrections & removals

Anyone can report an issue using the “Report an issue” link on a listing. Business owners can claim their listing to request changes. We review reports as quickly as we can and may hide a listing while we look into a concern. You can also email us at ai@aiceleratesbusiness.com.

Featured listings

Any future featured or promoted placement will be clearly marked and will never change a listing's halal labels.
