For the first time, Chinese herbs made in Singapore are being certified as Halal.
The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, or MUIS, has listed 19 such products.
The herbs were developed over three years through research in the Malay community.
The manufacturer, Science Arts, was given the Halal certification by MUIS last month.
The company says the Halal certification now opens the doors to market its range of products to Muslim countries.

Zubaidah Mahboob, Consumer, says: "I take this medicine because it is herbal and no chemicals involved. I'm sure there's no side effect. So, that's the reason why I just continue. So far, I go for my check up, the doctor says it is good, that's why I continue with the medicine."
