Questions
Who certifies Midamar?
Midamar says it ships worldwide, so it has several halal certifiers, and that it most often works with Islamic Services of America. It does not say which certifier covers which product. This is Midamar's own statement. Muzzmi has not read the certificate itself.
Is all Midamar zabiha?
Not all of it, going by what Midamar says. The answer changes by product, so use the product line list on this page and read the pack.
How do I check a pack in the store?
Find the certifier's name or seal on the pack, then check that certifier's own list. A pack that only says halal does not tell you who checked it. The label on the pack in your hand is the one that counts, because brands change suppliers.
