KENNEBUNK, Maine, July 26
Tom's of Maine products have recently earned Halal Certification -- making Tom's one of the few personal care companies to have Halal certification.
Halal, an Arabic word meaning lawful or permitted, is the certification given by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America -- IFANCA. The Halal symbol will now appear on all Tom's product packaging.
A cross-functional team of Tom's of Maine employees worked with IFANCA to obtain certification. Tom's products also have kosher certification.
Tom Chappell, Co-Founder & CEO of Tom's of Maine announced the Certification stating, "Tom's of Maine now has the opportunity to serve a whole new community of people who make buying decisions based on their values. We're excited by this news and believe when you create products with clear values in mind -- you end up with higher quality ingredients and more effective products."
