What Halal Means

Halal (حلال) means “permissible”. For meat, Islamic dietary law requires: the animal must be alive and healthy, slaughtered by a Muslim, the name of Allah pronounced, and blood fully drained. Genuine certification requires independent supply chain verification – not just the slaughter, but the processing facility, transport, and storage.

The Certification

SICHMA Certification Details

Certificate Number

00042507STAN2/2C(CV)

Certifying Body

SICHMA - Supreme Islamic Council of Halal Meat in Australia

Supplier

Stanbroke Beef Pty Ltd Est 203

Valid Through

March 2028

SICHMA is one of Australia’s leading halal certification authorities. The certification covers the complete Wagyu beef supply chain from Stanbroke’s processing facility through delivery to each Pho REDBO kitchen. Every protein in the supply chain is covered.

What This Means for You

The complete Pho REDBO menu is available to halal-observant diners – ask your server about specific items. There is no separate halal section because the certification applies to the entire beef supply chain. Confirm the pho meatball status separately with your server.

Most Vietnamese restaurants in Orange County do not carry third-party certification, even those using halal beef. The LA Times included Pho REDBO on their 22 Essential Halal Restaurants list specifically because the certification is independently audited.

Why Halal and Wagyu Together

The farms meeting the Wagyu sourcing standard – no growth hormones, no antibiotics, verified animal welfare – overlap significantly with farms meeting halal requirements. Both demand documented supply chain integrity. Before opening, the founders visited farms in the US and Australia where both standards were met simultaneously.
