About GANSU
Linxia Halal Food Certification Centre operates from Linxia City, the seat of the Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu Province, northwestern China. The prefecture is one of the oldest centres of Muslim life in the country, home to a large Hui population and a dense concentration of mosques, which has earned the city the nickname of the Little Mecca of China. That heritage sustains a substantial local halal food industry, and the certification centre grew out of this regional base.
China Daily reported in 2016 that the Linxia centre holds approval from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia, an arrangement that allows food companies in Gansu Province to export their products under a halal trademark. The centre has appeared under the China section of the JAKIM list of recognised certification bodies across multiple editions, with its listed address moving from Jiefang Road to Road Hongyuan Xincun in Linxia City and the directorship passing from Ma Dingyuan to Ma Zhongxian.
The centre maintains a minimal public footprint in English. The current gazette entry records no website, so importers and manufacturers who need to confirm a certificate should contact the centre directly through the telephone number or email address recorded in the JAKIM listing.
