Global Proficiency’s new programme –
Detection of Traces of Alcohol in Beverages
Programme Background
• Food and drinks which are allowed to be consumed according to
Islamic rules should comply with the Halal requirements (GSO
05/FDS/1931:2014 Standard)
• In case of beverages, the rule is that the drinks must not cause
intoxication when consumed in large quantities.
• This is quantified by the allowed limit of 0.1% of alcohol in the
drink.
Programme Background
• The acceptance level (0.1%) is very close to the detection limit of
most commonly used laboratory methods for ethanol detection.
• This presents a challenge to the laboratories but also presents a
concern for consumers on how confident they can be that the
beverages they consume are truly halal?
Programme Background
This programme is offered with the intent to:
• Assess laboratories capability to perform the test correctly
• Give the laboratories confidence in the results issued
• Evaluate method suitability
• Provide assurance to manufacturers and processors
• Build confidence and trust for the consumers that the label claims
are accurate
