The company states that its staff receive Shariah training and that its assessment structure mirrors that of overseas halal evaluation bodies.
On its homepage VNH lists recognitions from BPJPH of Indonesia, MUIS of Singapore, and the GCC Accreditation Center (GAC), alongside its Malaysian recognition. On that basis the company presents its certificates as a route for Vietnamese producers to reach Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the UAE, and other Gulf markets.
