Abstract

Abstract: In recent times, the escalation of halal food fraud, involving the illicit use of halal logos and certificates, label misrepresentation, and contamination with non-halal elements, has become a pressing concern. This issue has especially impacted consumer trust, particularly among Malaysia's Muslim community, magnified by the disreputable meat cartel scandal. Safeguarding Muslim consumers' confidence in halal meat products is a significant challenge, necessitating severe measures in all aspects, including halal certification procedures. This study investigates the specific degrees of halal certification practices within the meat industry, emphasizing their pivotal role in upholding industry integrity. Employing comprehensive library research and document analysis, encompassing primary and secondary sources such as articles, journals, official portals, and conference papers, detailed insights were extracted and thematically analyzed. The research reveals how important of halal certificates towards customers to ensure the halal status of meat products in the market, aligning with Shariah requirements. The study's findings are poised to enrich current knowledge about halal certification in the meat industry, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders, consumers, and governmental bodies. Ultimately, this study provides a robust foundation, serving as an invaluable reference point for industry players, regulatory authorities, and other relevant agencies, offering a comprehensive framework to underscore halal certification in Malaysia's meat-based industry.

 

Abstrak: Sejak kebelakangan ini, peningkatan penipuan makanan halal, yang melibatkan penggunaan logo dan sijil halal secara haram, pemalsuan label, dan pencemaran dengan elemen bukan halal, telah menjadi kebimbangan yang mendalam. Isu ini telah memberi impak besar kepada kepercayaan pengguna, terutamanya dalam kalangan masyarakat Muslim Malaysia, akibat skandal kartel daging. Memastikan keyakinan pengguna Muslim terhadap produk daging halal adalah satu cabaran besar. Ia memerlukan langkah-langkah tegas dalam semua aspek, termasuk melibatkan prosedur pensijilan halal. Kajian ini mengkaji amalan pensijilan halal dalam industri daging secara terperinci, menekankan kepentingnya dalam mengekalkan integriti industri. Dengan menggunakan penyelidikan perpustakaan yang komprehensif dan analisis dokumen, termasuk sumber-sumber utama dan sekunder seperti artikel, jurnal, portal rasmi, dan kertas persidangan, pandangan terperinci diekstrak dan dianalisis secara tematik. Kajian ini mendedahkan betapa pentingnya sijil halal kepada pengguna untuk memastikan status halal produk daging di pasaran, selari dengan keperluan Syariah. Dapatan kajian ini dijangka akan meningkatkan pengetahuan semasa mengenai kepentingan pensijilan halal dalam industri daging, memberikan pandangan penting kepada pihak industri, pengguna, dan badan kerajaan. Pada keseluruhannya, kajian ini menyediakan landasan kukuh, berperanan sebagai titik rujukan yang sangat berharga kepada industri, pihak berkuasa yang mengawal selia dan agensi berkaitan, menyediakan kerangka menyeluruh untuk memartabatkan pensijilan halal dalam industri daging di Malaysia.
