On August 8, 2025, the Central Islamic Council of Thailand (CICOT) announced its updated list of Foreign Halal Certified Bodies (FHCB). The list went into effect on July 16, 2025, through July 15, 2028. At present, CICOT recognized only one U.S.-based FHCB. Certificates from non-listed FHCBs cannot be used for materials that will be marketed as halal in Thailand. Interested FHCBs can still submit registration requests by September 22, 2025 (Thailand time).
