Abstract

Halal certification has become increasingly important for Muslim consumers, who seek assurance that the products they consume comply with Islamic laws. The research aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the halal certification standards in the food industry between Indonesia and Malaysia. This study focuses on identifying both similarities and differences in the implementation and enforcement of halal certification standards in these two countries, emphasizing the regulatory frameworks and certification processes that businesses must navigate. The methodology in this research uses secondary data through literature and online digital study via the official website of the Malaysian Indonesian Halal Institute and other websites related to halal standards, which includes several important steps that ensure the validity and reliability of research results such as, identification of research topics and statements; literature search; secondary data collection; literature analysis; writing and reporting; validation and verification; conclusions and recommendations. By exploring the experiences of the food industry in Indonesia and Malaysia, this research contributes to a better understanding of the complexities surrounding halal certification and provides insights for businesses operating in these markets. The findings of this study will be valuable for both policymakers and industry stakeholders in developing strategies to enhance halal certification standards and facilitate trade between Indonesia and Malaysia.
