Came across this press release, it immediately struck me because the only toothpaste that we’ve used for years is Tom’s of Maine! I never really thought too many other people used it but its amazing to hear that they’re certifying all their products as halal. By the way, I might add that its a great toothpaste too! haha
Tom’s of Maine Products Earn Halal Certification
Tom’s of Maine products have recently earned Halal certification, making Tom’s one of the few personal care companies to have this 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.
Tom Chappell, Cofounder and 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.”
A crossfunctional team of Tom’s of Maine employees worked with IFANCA to obtain certification. Tom’s products also have kosher certification.
