Food Safety Analysis Based on Halal Food with The Use of Water as a Food Need in Indonesia

Abstract

Halal food security in Indonesia is a complex issue viewed from a religious perspective, especially in water processing. This article examines the public's understanding of the water treatment process, whether halal or non-halal. This research also examines the risks from the views of people with this understanding. The method used uses a literature study consisting of several pieces of literature that are reviewed and analyzed descriptively to understand the existing problems properly. The results of this research answered this understanding with an analysis of environmental, technical, social, financial, security, and institutional risks, as well as a comparison with regulations and hadith. The water treatment process carried out by water management institutions follows the rules and is considered to duplicate natural processes, namely the water cycle. This perspective is also supported by several regulations in Indonesia, which indicate that food safety, especially water, can be adequately implemented. This study shows that there is always involvement between officeholders, service providers, and the community in maintaining the safety of water sources.
