  • The article asks whether halal certification should become mandatory for micro, small and medium enterprises and large companies in Malaysia.
  • It presents halal certification as extending beyond religious considerations to quality assurance, food safety, supply-chain transparency, product traceability and consumer confidence.

Halal certification is often viewed as a religious issue and a requirement for Muslim consumers. But as the food sector becomes more complex, the concept of halal encompasses much more.

The article links halal certification to quality assurance, food safety, supply-chain transparency, product traceability and consumer confidence. It therefore raises a broader policy question: should certification become mandatory for Malaysia's micro, small and medium enterprises as well as large companies?
