{"product_id":"gso-has-retail","title":"GSO HAS - Retail","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis documentation kit implements a sector-specific Halal Assurance System for retail under the Halal Assurance System framework of the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO), the regional standardization body of the Gulf Cooperation Council states. The framework requires a documented, self-sustaining internal discipline that safeguards Halal integrity continuously, rather than relying on one-off inspection outcomes, and operates alongside the GSO 2055 series of product and certification standards. The scope covers retail operations that receive, display, handle and sell Halal products. Requirements address verification of Halal status at receiving, segregated display, refrigeration and back-of-store storage, dedicated equipment and utensils in butchery, deli and food-service counters, controls on in-store preparation and labelling, training of staff in correct Halal handling, and accuracy of consumer-facing Halal claims and signage. Implementation is anchored by an internal Halal committee that maintains documented procedures, approves ingredients and suppliers, conducts internal audits, trains personnel and manages corrective actions so that compliance is sustained between external assessments. The main benefits include conformity with GCC regulatory expectations, reduced risk of contamination or fraud, and strengthened confidence among Gulf importers, retailers and regulators, providing a practical gateway to the substantial GCC market. In the certification context, an accredited or approved certification body assesses the sector-specific Halal Assurance System alongside the applicable GSO product standards, with certificates maintained through periodic surveillance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39 ready-to-use, fully editable documents (manual, procedures, forms, records, checklists, guidance and training material).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLicense:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-organization license; delivered electronically as a ZIP archive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apex Global Solutions AGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517054267732,"sku":"AGS-02-007","price":1290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/4996\/4372\/files\/GSO-HAS-Retail.png?v=1784574604","url":"https:\/\/agskits.com\/products\/gso-has-retail","provider":"apex global solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
