MJN is halal certified

MANILA, Philippines - Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) Philippines Inc. recently obtained the Halal Assurance Systen (HAS) certificate from The Assessment Institute for Food, Drugs and Cosmetics - The Indonesian Council of Ulama of Indonesia, the most highly recognized halal certifying body worldwide. A halal certification recognizes that products are permissible under Islamic law, and thus are edible, drinkable or usable by Muslims. The HAS certificate was issued to MJN Philippines after it consistently maintained an “A” rating for three consecutive years, from 2008 to 2010, during annual Hahal Assurance System implementation audits conducted for companies exporting products to Indonesia. The certification signifies that Mead Johnson has effectively implemented the halal assurance system in every step of its supply chain, from raw material purchasing to final product transportation. Mead Johnson, one of the leading companies in the world known for science-based nutritional products for babies and children, began its operations in the Philippines in February 1962. Next year will mark its golden jubilee in the country.
