Halal certification (artanews)

YOGYAKARTA - Are you an MSME actor who wants to expand the market and increase consumer confidence? Ensuring that your product is halal is the answer.

The problem is that the certification process is often considered complicated and time-consuming. However, with the presence of the Halal Self Declaration Certification route, MSMEs now have a golden opportunity to get halal legality more easily and quickly.

So how is the process? Let's dive into how you can use this path for your business progress.

You may often encounter the label "No Pork No Heard" in many restaurants, especially in food businesses. These labels are often displayed as a kind of "halal guarantee" or a halal self-declare to convince consumers that their products are free from pork content.

However, the question is whether the label can really guarantee the halalness of a product as a whole?

In principle, the installation of the "No Pork No Heard" label is arguably a simplification of public understanding of halal self-declare. In fact, the true intention of self-declare halal is much wider than just free pigs.

Reporting from the website of the Indonesian Ministry of Religion, self-declare halal is a halal certification scheme carried out based on one-sided statements from business actors.

This statement confirms that the objects or services they market are halal. So, the label "No Pork No Heard" alone does not automatically guarantee that a product is truly halal according to Islamic law.

Comprehensive halal certification includes a much wider process. This starts from the selection of raw materials, production processes, to final recitation. All these stages must really be in accordance with Islamic law.

Thus, the aspects of cleanliness, the use of tools, and the source of additional food ingredients, must all be considered.
