The Islamic Da’wah Council of the Philippines (IDCP) has once again recognized Franklin Baker Company of the Philippines as one of the Top Halal Certified Companies for 2025. The announcement was made during the World Halal Expo Forum held on May 15, 2025, at the Shangri-La Hotel in Makati.
This consistent recognition underscores Franklin Baker’s steadfast commitment to producing premium coconut-based products that strictly adhere to Halal standards. The company’s consistent certification by IDCP—a globally acknowledged Halal certifying body and founding member of the World Halal Council—assures both local and international markets of its compliance with Islamic dietary and ethical guidelines.
Among Franklin Baker’s Halal-certified offerings are Desiccated Coconut, Coconut Water, Coconut Milk and Cream, and Coconut Oil—products that are not only staples in many industries but also crucial in markets where Halal certification is a key trade requirement.
“This recognition validates our company’s continuing commitment to maintaining Halal compliance,” said Cristine Gabutero, Assistant Manager for Technical Services at Franklin Baker. “It not only affirms our Legacy of Quality but also opens doors for expanded global reach.”
