THE HALAL FOOD LAW IN MALAYSIA
THE HALAL FOOD LAW IN MALAYSIA

Summary/Abstract: The industry of Halal is a market that has not yet reached its full potential thus having immense possibilities of expansion in the near future. This statement can be supported by the immersive number of Muslim communities, that was estimated at about 1.8 billion in the year 2011, this making the Halal industry to have an estimated value of 2.3 trillion dollars. However to be able to fully achieve its potential we must first go over the issues regarding this industry, both the abuse of the Halal logo and other offenses regarding this. Even after doing so, we must face the issues that occur in the domestic and international industries and we must not forget the enforcement of relevant laws of certification regarding Halal. The objective that we are trying to achieve with the present article is to look into the consumer protection and enforcement of the Halal laws that have been put in function by the State Religious Department of Selangor (JAIS) and the religious department of Kelantan (JAHEIK). Furthermore, our secondary objectives regarding the present paper are to better improve and support the enforcement and supervision of Halal certification for the safety and benefit of the people that consume and the companies that produce and to educate them in the responsibility of producing a Halal Product.
