Country guide · OIC member state
In Tunisia, Halal certification is run by the national standards body, the Institut National de la Normalisation et de la Propriété Industrielle (INNORPI), together with Dar El Ifta, the country's official religious authority. INNORPI audits production from raw materials to packaging, and Dar El Ifta validates the religious side. The scheme, under an agreement signed in 2013, issues renewable three-year Halal certificates, mainly to food exporters.
Tunisia hosted the 15th SMIIC technical committee week in September 2026, when INNORPI and the Saudi Halal Center discussed mutual recognition of Halal certificates to ease access to Gulf markets. Islamic banking is offered by banks such as Zitouna Bank and Al Baraka Bank Tunisia. This guide lists the institutions behind each part, with their pages on Wasabih.
