In Indonesia, halal is not just about faith — it has become a legal standard and market demand. Since the issuance of Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance, the government has mandated that all food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and household goods must be halal certified by 2026.
⏳ This means time is running out. Both SMEs and large corporations must ensure their products are halal verified before entering the market.
Why Is Halal Certification So Critical?
- Regulatory Compliance
Without halal certification, product distribution permits can be delayed or even rejected. By 2026, the regulation will be fully enforced. - Consumer Trust
Muslim consumers — especially millennials and young families — are becoming increasingly critical of halal labels. Products without certification risk being abandoned. - Export Market Access
Many international markets, particularly in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, require halal certification as an entry condition. - Business Reputation
Halal certification is more than just a label. It represents integrity, responsibility, and a guarantee that the product is safe, healthy, and Sharia-compliant.
Who Needs to Prepare Now?
- Food and beverage manufacturers
- Cosmetics & personal care industries
- SME food processing businesses
- Household goods distributors & importers
- Local brands aiming for export markets
How Does the Process Work?
Halal certification is not instant. It requires several essential steps:
- Raw material & supplier audit → ensuring sources are traceable and free from haram substances.
- Laboratory testing → detecting critical elements such as porcine DNA or alcohol.
- Halal Critical Control Point (CCP) implementation → monitoring production to prevent cross-contamination.
- Halal documentation assistance → preparing required documents for official verification by Halal Certification Bodies (LPH) and BPJPH.
