Published: November 2023

This research aims to discuss the statutory regulations of halal certification. The study was performed through literature studies, especially on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials that describe legal protections for consumers and consideration of the halal certification. This study showed that micro and small enterprises’ food products are easy to verify about the halal food products, as long as the organization that assists the enterprises are legal entities. Micro and small enterprises (MSEs) should only make a statement letter of the halalness of a product that is verified and get assistance by Islamic social organizations or religious institutions that are legal entities and/or universities, government agencies, or business entities as long as they are partners with legal Islamic community organizations or Islamic religious institutions. However, regulations related to the halal statement of micro and small enterprise actors must still be reviewed and given special attention and supervision. In Indonesia, with the majority of the Muslim community, the guarantee of the halalness of a product and/or service is crucial. For this reason, the enactment of the Halal Product Guarantee Law is a form of state protection for Muslim consumers in Indonesia.___
