Abstract

The issue of halal products is becoming an essential need to protect every individual Muslim in consumption over the world today. The issue of halal products is no longer solely a matter of religious affairs. But, this issue has a major impact on the progress of economic sector in many countries. There are many halal certification bodies in various countries in the world. However, there is no halal standards which recognized and accepted by all Islamic countries or halal certifier bodies. Indonesia claimed MUI‟s (Indonesian Council of Ulama) standard has already accepted many halal certifier bodies under WHFC (World Halal Food Council) organization. Meanwhile, Malaysian government also claimed that Malaysian Halal Standard also has already accepted as a standard under OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries). In fact, MUI should declare mutual recognition to Malaysian government in halal standard. This study aimed to analyze the full picture of halal standards in Indonesia based on the constraints that occur mainly in aspects of technology, halal standard-setting procedures, legal issues, and audit method. This research used qualitative method through literature studies. The data analyzed by SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) analysis and comparison analysis. The results expected could contribute to the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenag RI) in providing a complete picture of halal standards in order to modify the regulations of Indonesian halal standards to be more global and to minimize the gap on the constraints of recognition of Indonesian halal standards in various countries in the world. Because Kemenag RI took over the rule of halal certification from MUI in October 2017.
