(The Halal Food Information Centre (HFIC) was founded by stakeholders in the UK Halal sector who felt the need for a central PR or media hub to address issues pertaining to inaccurate media reporting about Halal food production. The idea was first suggested at a stakeholder meeting organised by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) on 7th August 2018 which brought together Halal stakeholders across the UK to discuss issues affecting the UK Halal sector. HFIC was then incorporated in June 2021.
