The Halal Element in Organic Food Product: An Overview

Abstract

The intersection of halal and organic food represents a significant field of study within contemporary food science and religious practices. Both concepts are rooted in ethical, environmental, and health considerations but originate from distinct frameworks. Compliance with halal elements is crucial for enhancing product quality and safety, meeting the increasing health-conscious consumer demand, and strengthening consumer confidence in halal organic products. This study explores the compatibility and potential synergy between halal and organic food systems, highlighting key elements such as certification, farm management, production processes, and consumer perceptions. By critically analyzing existing literature, the study aims to bridge the gap in understanding and provide a foundation for future research in integrating these frameworks.This research employs an exploratory design, collecting data through documentation and field observation. Data obtained were analyzed using content analysis. Findings reveal that halal and organic certification processes are governed by separate authorities. The study anticipates future collaboration between certification bodies, producers, and researchers. The goal is to pave the way for an integrated halal-organic system that meets consumer demand and contributes to the sustainability of the global halal hub.
