List of 10 Halal-Certified Contract Manufacturer Companies in Kedah (2026)
Kedah's JAKIM Halal-certified OEM and contract manufacturing factories, ranked by registered certified product lines, for brand owners sourcing a Halal-certified contract manufacturer in the state.
Quick answer
DS Pharma Herbs Sdn. Bhd. tops Kedah's Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturing directory for 2026 with 12 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, the only company among the 10 eligible factories in double digits. EB Frozen Food follows with 10 lines and DZR Pharma Manufacture with 9, while the remaining seven companies each carry between 4 and 7 registered lines. All 10 hold an active JAKIM Halal certificate under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category, confirmed against the Halal Malaysia portal’s own directory, captured 31 August 2026, rather than taken from company claims.
- DS Pharma Herbs Sdn. Bhd. leads Kedah's Halal-certified OEM directory cut with 12 JAKIM-registered certified product/SKU lines — the only company in double digits among the state's 10 eligible factories as of a 31 August 2026 capture.
- Kedah's Halal-certified OEM base splits almost evenly between two district clusters: Kulim and Sungai Petani each account for 3 of the 10 listed factories, while Jitra — home to just 2 companies — holds both the #1 and #3-ranked factories by certified line count.
- Four of the 10 listed companies carry “Pharma,” “Pharmaceutical” or “Health Science” in their registered name, yet all are certified under JAKIM's general “Pengilangan Kontrak / OEM” category rather than the separate Halal Pharmaceuticals scheme (MS 2424) that governs NPRA-registered drug products — a distinction buyers should not conflate.
- None of the five ORIZI Group-linked OEM/ODM brands appears in Kedah's JAKIM contract-manufacturing directory cut captured for this research — a structural, geographic gap disclosed here rather than forced.
How this ranking was decided
A data ranking. Ordered by JAKIM-registered certified product/SKU lines, captured from the Halal Malaysia portal directory on 31 August 2026. 10 of 20 genuinely Kedah-based, JAKIM-certified candidates are listed, selected by highest certified line count.
Full details in How this ranking was produced below.

Bhd. | 6 | Brands sourcing food ingredients or components, within Kedah's largest single-district (Kulim) cluster. | Tied for the mid-table certified line count on this list (6 lines). | No founding year, facility size or export-market data published by JAKIM's directory. |

Kedah's Halal-certified contract manufacturing base spans five districts and two distinct product orientations: a live search of JAKIM's own Halal Malaysia portal directory, filtered to the state and the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” certification category, surfaced 20 companies holding an active Halal certificate as of 31 August 2026. This list ranks the 10 with the most registered certified product lines, each independently confirmed against the government registry rather than a company's own marketing claims.
Who this list is for
This ranking is for brand owners, distributors and procurement teams sourcing a Kedah-based Halal-certified contract manufacturer for food, beverage, supplement or personal-care products — particularly buyers who want a factory already carrying an active JAKIM Halal certificate rather than one still pursuing certification. It is not a ranking of restaurant or retail Halal certification, and it does not cover manufacturers outside Kedah state. Malaysia's Top Ten separately covers Selangor's Halal-certified OEM manufacturers and Johor's Halal-certified OEM/ODM companies, alongside Penang's Halal-certified OEM/ODM factories, all filed under our Business & Industry hub.
Eligibility rules
To qualify, a company had to hold an active JAKIM Halal certificate as of this research's 31 August 2026 capture, be listed in the Halal Malaysia portal's directory under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category, and carry a Kedah address. The directory search (state = Kedah, keyword = “Sdn”) returned 20 matching rows, all genuinely Kedah-based. The 10 listed here are the top 10 of those 20 by number of registered certified product lines — this list's chosen metric, used as a proxy for the breadth of a factory's certified output since JAKIM's own directory does not publish revenue, headcount or floor-space figures. Every company below cleared this exact screen; none was added by reputation or outside recommendation.
How they compare
All 10 companies clear the same JAKIM certification screen, but registered certified lines span a 3x range, from DS Pharma Herbs' 12 lines down to Biocare Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing's 4. Geography splits into two roughly equal clusters: Kulim and Sungai Petani each host 3 of the 10 factories, while Jitra — home to just 2 companies — uniquely holds both the #1 and #3-ranked factories by certified line count. Alor Setar, the state capital, and Lunas each contribute exactly one company, the most geographically distinct entries on this list. Product orientation also splits cleanly: 4 of the 10 companies carry “Pharma,” “Pharmaceutical” or “Health Science” in their registered name (DS Pharma Herbs, DZR Pharma Manufacture, Easy Plus Pharmaceutical, Emzi Health Science), while the remaining 6 read as food or supplement manufacturers by name (EB Frozen Food, Custom Food Ingredients, Al Haddad Manufacturing, Conve Food, Cozzo Food Industries, Biocare Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing). None of the 10 discloses founding year, facility size or export markets on the JAKIM directory itself — this list's one disclosed metric is certified line count, and buyers who need deeper operational detail (MOQ, lead time, export certifications beyond Halal) should treat this list as a sourcing starting point, not a final comparison. The 3-way tie at 5 lines each (Al Haddad Manufacturing, Conve Food, Cozzo Food Industries) is a genuine data tie, not a ranking artifact — JAKIM's directory provides no further distinguishing figure between them, so their relative order here follows the order captured from the directory search rather than any other criterion.
Which one should you choose?
Choose DS Pharma Herbs if you want the Kedah-based Halal OEM factory with the broadest currently certified product catalogue on this list (12 lines), useful for a brand considering a multi-SKU launch with one manufacturer. Choose EB Frozen Food or DZR Pharma Manufacture if a well-established Kulim or Jitra option with a strong certified line count (10 and 9 lines respectively) fits your brief. Choose Easy Plus Pharmaceutical if an Alor Setar location specifically matters, or if you want a mid-sized certified catalogue (7 lines) outside Kedah's three main clusters. Choose Custom Food Ingredients or Emzi Health Science if a moderate 6-line certified catalogue is sufficient and you want a food-ingredient or health-science specialisation respectively. Choose one of the three tied at 5 lines each — Al Haddad Manufacturing, Conve Food or Cozzo Food Industries — if your brand needs only a moderate certified catalogue and a Sungai Petani or Lunas location suits your own logistics. Choose Biocare Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing if your brand needs only a narrow, single-format certified line and a supplement-manufacturing focus within Kedah's largest cluster fits your product. Every company on this list requires direct verification of MOQ, lead time and production capacity before committing, since none of this is disclosed in the JAKIM directory itself.
Why a “Pharma” Company Name Doesn't Mean Pharmaceutical Halal Certification
Four of Kedah's 10 listed Halal OEM factories — DS Pharma Herbs, DZR Pharma Manufacture, Easy Plus Pharmaceutical (M) and Emzi Health Science — carry “Pharma,” “Pharmaceutical” or “Health Science” in their registered company name. All four, like every other company on this list, are certified under JAKIM's general “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category — the same certification category used for the food-manufacturing companies on this list. That matters because JAKIM's Halal Malaysia portal lists Halal certification for “Barang Gunaan Farmaseutikal” (Pharmaceutical Products) as its own separate verification category, governed by Malaysia Standard MS 2424, “Halal Pharmaceuticals — General Requirements”. Under MS 2424, a product must first be registered with the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) and hold a valid registration number before it is even eligible to apply for Halal certification under that specific scheme — a materially different, and more regulated, pathway than the general OEM/contract-manufacturing certification every company on this list holds. In practice, this means a pharma-named company's JAKIM OEM certificate confirms its Halal Assurance System for whatever products it has registered under the general scheme — most plausibly herbal, nutraceutical or health-supplement items that don't require NPRA drug registration — not that it is certified to manufacture NPRA-registered pharmaceutical drug products under MS 2424. A buyer sourcing an actual registered drug product, rather than a supplement or herbal item, should verify directly with the company (or against NPRA's own product registry) which specific certification applies before assuming the two are interchangeable.
The full ranking
DS Pharma Herbs Sdn. Bhd.
Jitra-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 12 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, the most of any Kedah factory in this directory cut.
Why it was selected
DS Pharma Herbs' differentiator on this list is certified catalogue breadth: at 12 registered certified product lines it leads Kedah's 10 eligible Halal OEM factories by a clear margin, 20% ahead of EB Frozen Food's 10 lines. The company is JAKIM Halal-certified under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category and is based in Jitra, a district that also produces this list's #3-ranked factory (DZR Pharma Manufacture), making it one of two Kedah districts contributing more than one company to this top 10. JAKIM's own directory does not disclose DS Pharma Herbs' founding year, facility size or the specific products behind its 12 certified lines, so this entry's ranking rests entirely on the disclosed line count, independently confirmed against the Halal Malaysia portal on 31 August 2026 rather than company marketing. Best suited for brand owners considering a multi-SKU Halal product launch who want a single Kedah-based contract manufacturer already certified across the broadest currently disclosed product range on this list. Not ideal for buyers who need facility size, founding year or export-market evidence before committing — none of that is available from this source and should be verified directly with the company.
Best for
Brand owners considering a multi-SKU Halal product launch who want the broadest certified catalogue on this list.
Advantages
- Highest certified product-line count on this list (12 lines), 20% ahead of the next company.
- Based in Jitra, one of only two Kedah districts contributing more than one factory to this top 10.
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category, confirmed live.
Limitations
- JAKIM's directory discloses no founding year, facility size or export markets for this company.
- The specific products behind its 12 certified lines are not individually named by the directory.

EB Frozen Food Sdn Bhd
Kulim-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 10 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, the second-highest in Kedah's directory cut.
Why it was selected
EB Frozen Food's differentiator is its clear second-place certified catalogue: 10 registered certified product lines, comfortably ahead of the mid-pack cluster at 5-7 lines and just 2 lines behind the list leader. Based in Kulim, EB Frozen Food anchors this list's largest district cluster alongside Custom Food Ingredients and Biocare Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing — 3 of the 10 listed factories share a Kulim address. JAKIM's Halal Malaysia portal confirms an active certificate under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category as of 31 August 2026; the directory does not publish founding year, facility size or export detail for this company, and its name signals a frozen-food product focus distinct from the pharma-leaning cluster elsewhere on this list. Best suited for a brand wanting a well-established Kulim-based option with meaningfully more certified breadth than the list's lower half, particularly for frozen or prepared-food formats. Not ideal for a buyer who specifically needs DS Pharma Herbs' larger catalogue or a non-food product category.
Best for
Brands wanting a well-established Kulim-based factory with above-average certified breadth, particularly for frozen or prepared-food formats.
Advantages
- Second-highest certified line count on this list (10 lines).
- Anchors Kulim, this list's largest single-district cluster (3 of 10 factories).
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate confirmed live as of 31 August 2026.
Limitations
- No founding year, facility size or export-market data published by JAKIM's directory.

DZR Pharma Manufacture Sdn Bhd
Jitra-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 9 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, the second Jitra company on this list.
Why it was selected
DZR Pharma Manufacture's differentiator is sharing Jitra's district cluster with this list's #1-ranked factory while still carrying a substantial 9-line certified catalogue in its own right — only 1 line behind EB Frozen Food's second-place count. Its name, like DS Pharma Herbs and Easy Plus Pharmaceutical elsewhere on this list, signals a pharmaceutical or health-product manufacturing focus, though JAKIM's OEM-category certificate does not itself distinguish between a food-grade and a pharma-grade certified line — a distinction explored further below. Active JAKIM Halal certification was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026; founding year, facility size and specific certified brand names are not published by the directory. Best suited for a brand wanting a Jitra-based alternative to the list leader with a still-substantial certified catalogue. Not ideal for a buyer who needs the single largest line count available in Kedah.
Best for
Brands wanting a Jitra-based Halal OEM factory with a substantial certified catalogue just behind the list's top 2.
Advantages
- Third-highest certified line count on this list (9 lines).
- Shares Jitra's district cluster with this list's #1-ranked factory.
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate confirmed live as of 31 August 2026.
Limitations
- No founding year, facility size or export-market data published by JAKIM's directory.
- JAKIM's OEM-category certificate does not itself distinguish food-grade from pharma-grade certified lines.

Easy Plus Pharmaceutical (M) Sdn. Bhd.
Alor Setar-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 7 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, this list's only entry from Kedah's state capital.
Why it was selected
Easy Plus Pharmaceutical's differentiator is location: it is the only one of Kedah's 10 listed Halal OEM factories based in Alor Setar, the state capital, rather than in the Kulim, Jitra or Sungai Petani clusters that otherwise dominate this list. Its 7 certified product lines place it mid-table, well ahead of the 4-6 line cluster but behind the top 3. As with DS Pharma Herbs and DZR Pharma Manufacture, its registered name signals a pharmaceutical-adjacent manufacturing focus, though — as this list's original-insight section explains — a JAKIM OEM-category certificate is not the same as certification under the separate Halal Pharmaceuticals standard (MS 2424) that governs NPRA-registered drug products. Active JAKIM Halal certification was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026. Best suited for a brand specifically seeking an Alor Setar-based manufacturer, or one wanting a mid-sized certified catalogue outside Kedah's three main manufacturing clusters.
Best for
Brands specifically seeking an Alor Setar-based Halal OEM factory, or a mid-sized certified catalogue outside Kedah's main clusters.
Advantages
- Only Alor Setar (state capital)-based factory on this list.
- Mid-table certified line count (7 lines), ahead of the 4-6 line cluster.
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate confirmed live as of 31 August 2026.
Limitations
- No founding year, facility size or export-market data published by JAKIM's directory.
- A pharma-adjacent company name does not itself confirm certification for pharmaceutical (MS 2424) products — verify the specific certified category directly.

Custom Food Ingredients Sdn. Bhd.
Kulim-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 6 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Custom Food Ingredients shares Kulim's district cluster with EB Frozen Food and Biocare Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing, and its name signals a food-ingredient manufacturing specialisation distinct from its finished-product neighbours. Its 6 certified lines place it in a tie with Emzi Health Science for the middle of this list's certified-line range, ahead of the four companies at 4-5 lines. Active JAKIM Halal certification under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026; the directory discloses no further detail on facility size or the ingredients behind its 6 certified lines. Best suited for a brand sourcing food ingredients or components rather than a finished consumer product, within Kedah's largest manufacturing cluster.
Best for
Brands sourcing food ingredients or components, within Kedah's largest single-district (Kulim) cluster.
Advantages
- Tied for the mid-table certified line count on this list (6 lines).
- Shares Kulim's cluster with 2 other listed factories.
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate confirmed live as of 31 August 2026.
Limitations

Emzi Health Science Sdn Bhd
Sungai Petani-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 6 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Emzi Health Science anchors Sungai Petani's 3-company cluster alongside Al Haddad Manufacturing and Cozzo Food Industries, and ties Custom Food Ingredients for this list's mid-table certified line count at 6. Its name signals a health-science or nutraceutical manufacturing focus, placing it alongside the pharma-adjacent cluster (DS Pharma Herbs, DZR Pharma Manufacture, Easy Plus Pharmaceutical) in product orientation even though it sits in a different district. Active JAKIM Halal certification was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026; founding year and facility detail are not published. Best suited for a brand in the health-science or nutraceutical space wanting a Sungai Petani-based option.
Best for
Health-science or nutraceutical brands wanting a Sungai Petani-based Halal OEM factory.
Advantages
- Tied for the mid-table certified line count on this list (6 lines).
- Anchors Sungai Petani's 3-company cluster, this list's second-largest district grouping.

Al Haddad Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd.
Sungai Petani-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 5 JAKIM-registered certified product lines.
Why it was selected
Al Haddad Manufacturing is the second of Sungai Petani's 3 listed factories, carrying 5 certified product lines in a 3-way tie with Conve Food and Cozzo Food Industries. Active JAKIM Halal certification under the OEM/contract-manufacturing category was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026. The directory does not disclose founding year, facility size or the products behind its 5 certified lines. Best suited for a brand wanting a Sungai Petani-based factory with a moderate certified catalogue, where cluster co-location with other Halal-certified manufacturers may support shared logistics.
Best for
Brands wanting a Sungai Petani-based factory with a moderate certified catalogue.
Advantages
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate confirmed live as of 31 August 2026.
- Part of Sungai Petani's 3-factory Halal-manufacturing cluster.

Conve Food Sdn Bhd
Lunas-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 5 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, this list's only entry from Lunas.
Why it was selected
Conve Food is the only one of Kedah's 10 listed Halal OEM factories based in Lunas, a smaller town distinct from the Kulim, Jitra, Sungai Petani and Alor Setar locations that account for the rest of this list. Its 5 certified product lines tie it with Al Haddad Manufacturing and Cozzo Food Industries. Active JAKIM Halal certification was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026; its name signals a food-manufacturing focus. Best suited for a brand specifically seeking a Lunas-based manufacturer or simply the most geographically distinct option on this list.
Best for
Brands specifically seeking a Lunas-based Halal OEM factory.
Advantages
- Only Lunas-based factory on this list, Kedah's most geographically distinct entry.
- Active JAKIM Halal certificate confirmed live as of 31 August 2026.

Cozzo Food Industries Sdn Bhd
Sungai Petani-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 5 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, the third Sungai Petani company on this list.
Why it was selected
Cozzo Food Industries completes Sungai Petani's 3-company cluster alongside Emzi Health Science and Al Haddad Manufacturing, carrying 5 certified product lines in the same 3-way tie as Al Haddad and Conve Food. Its name signals a food-manufacturing focus distinct from Sungai Petani's health-science-oriented neighbour. Active JAKIM Halal certification was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026; founding year and facility detail are not published. Best suited for a food brand wanting a Sungai Petani-based option within Kedah's second-largest manufacturing cluster.
Best for

Biocare Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing Sdn Bhd
Kulim-based Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer with 4 JAKIM-registered certified product lines, the smallest certified catalogue on this list.
Why it was selected
Biocare Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing holds the smallest certified catalogue among this list's 10 eligible factories at 4 lines, though it still clears the same active-certificate, Kedah-address screen as every other entry. It is the third Kulim-based factory on this list, alongside EB Frozen Food and Custom Food Ingredients, and its name signals a dietary-supplement manufacturing focus. Active JAKIM Halal certification was confirmed live as of 31 August 2026; the directory discloses no founding year, facility size or export detail. Best suited for a supplement brand needing only a narrow, single-format certified line within Kedah's largest manufacturing cluster, where a smaller current catalogue may mean more available capacity for a new product.
Best for
Supplement brands needing a narrow, single-format certified line, within Kedah's largest manufacturing cluster.

Frequently asked questions
Which Kedah manufacturer has the most JAKIM-certified product lines in 2026?
DS Pharma Herbs Sdn. Bhd. leads Kedah's Halal-certified OEM/contract manufacturer directory for 2026 with 12 registered certified product lines, confirmed against JAKIM's own Halal Malaysia portal as of 31 August 2026 — the only company among the 10 eligible factories in double digits.
How many Halal-certified OEM manufacturers are based in Kedah?
This research identified 20 Kedah-based companies holding an active JAKIM Halal certificate under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / OEM” category as of a 31 August 2026 directory search, of which the 10 with the most registered certified product lines are ranked on this list.
Where in Kedah are most Halal-certified OEM factories located?
Kulim and Sungai Petani are Kedah's clearest Halal-manufacturing clusters in this directory cut, each home to 3 of this list's 10 factories, as of August 2026. Jitra contributes 2 companies, including this list's #1 and #3-ranked factories, while Alor Setar and Lunas each contribute one.
Does a JAKIM OEM certificate mean a company can manufacture Halal pharmaceutical drug products?
Not necessarily. JAKIM lists Pharmaceutical Products (governed by Malaysia Standard MS 2424) as a certification category separate from Pengilangan Kontrak/OEM, the category every company on this list holds. A company with “Pharma” in its name but only an OEM-category certificate should be asked directly which specific JAKIM certification covers the product a buyer intends to source.
Does an ORIZI Group-linked brand operate a Halal-certified OEM factory in Kedah?
No. None of the five ORIZI Group-linked OEM/ODM brands (OriziGroup, Donutra, Dr Orizi, A1 Kilang Kosmetik, OEM2You) appears in the Kedah-filtered JAKIM contract-manufacturing directory captured for this research as of August 2026, so none was put forward as a candidate for this specific state-level list.
How this ranking was produced
- Question: which Kedah-based manufacturers hold an active JAKIM Halal OEM/contract-manufacturing certificate, and how do they compare, as of August 2026.
- Ranking type: data. Ordered by one verifiable metric (certified product/SKU lines), not a weighted score.
- Metric: number of distinct certified product lines registered per company in JAKIM's Halal Malaysia directory, derived as the count of distinct certificate expiry dates listed per company row.
- Screen: active JAKIM Halal certificate, “Pengilangan Kontrak / Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)” category, Kedah address.
- Capture: live JAKIM Halal Malaysia portal directory search, 31 August 2026; state filter = Kedah, keyword = “Sdn.”
- Result: 20 genuinely Kedah-based candidates returned; the top 10 by certified line count are listed here.
- Tie-break: this topic's standing tie-break (earlier founding year ranks higher) could not be applied — JAKIM's directory does not publish founding year for any listed company. Ties are presented in the order captured from the directory search, disclosed here rather than implying a false distinction.
- Not done: this research pass did not independently pull certified brand names, founding year, facility size or export markets from each company's own detail page or website — figures beyond certified line count are not available for this list.
Notable exclusions
Candidates considered but not ranked, and why:
- 10 of 20 genuinely Kedah-based JAKIM-certified candidates — Held an active Halal certificate under the same OEM category and Kedah address, but carried fewer registered certified product lines than this list's top 10 — excluded only by this list's 10-entry floor, not by certification status.
- The five ORIZI Group-linked OEM/ODM brands — None appears in Kedah's JAKIM contract-manufacturing directory cut captured for this research as of August 2026 — a structural, geographic gap disclosed here rather than forced into the list.

Limitations
This list reports certified product line counts, district and certificate status exactly as captured from JAKIM's Halal Malaysia portal directory on 31 August 2026 — none of these figures was independently cross-checked against each company's own website, and certified brand names, founding year, facility size and export markets were not pulled from individual company detail pages this run. MOQ, lead time and pricing are not disclosed by the JAKIM directory and are not estimated here. Only companies with an active certificate under the “Pengilangan Kontrak / OEM” category and a Kedah address were treated as eligible; a Kedah manufacturer certified under a different JAKIM category (including the separate Pharmaceutical Products / MS 2424 scheme), or one whose certificate has lapsed since this capture, would not appear on this list even if it still produces on a contract basis.
