The halal food and beverage industry has also made a significant impact on supermarkets and other food business such as restaurants. French supermarkets had halal food sales totalling $210 million in 2011, a 10.5% growth from five years prior. In France, the market for halal foods is even larger than the market for other types of common foods. For example, in 2010, the market for halal foods and beverages in France was nearly twice that of organic foods.<ref name=":1" /> [[Auchan]], a large French supermarket chain, now sells 80 certified halal meat products, along with 30 pre-cooked halal meals and 40 frozen halal products. Upscale restaurants and catering services have also added halal foods to their menus. In addition, many beverage companies such as [[Evian]] have taken the effort to add a halal stamp on their products to show that their water and other beverages are pure and not haram or forbidden under Islamic law.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/09/world/europe/09france.html |title=Halal Food in France Takes an Upscale Turn |last=Baume |first=Maïa de la |date=8 September 2010 |work=The New York Times |access-date=8 November 2019 |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
