The government has mandated that business owners must have a halal certificate by October 17, 2026, at the latest. Materials that are required to have a halal certificate include raw materials, additives, and auxiliary materials used in food and beverage production.
What materials are classified into the categories of raw materials, additives, and auxiliary materials? Check out the following information!
Animal Materials
Vegetable Materials
Although vegetable ingredients are generally halal, there is a possibility that these ingredients are obtained through a long process with the help of auxiliary materials, so it is necessary to know the halalness information of the ingredients.
Additives (Food Additives)
Additives are generally processed using other auxiliary materials whose halal status needs to be known. Commonly used additives include:
Fermentation Materials and Enzymes
Fermentation materials such as yeast or enzymes are often used in the food production process, such as cheese, bread, and beverages. Attention needs to be paid to the type of animal used in the enzyme production process, and not using non-halal auxiliary materials, such as bacterial growth media, solvents in the extraction stage.
Chemicals and Mixtures
Chemicals derived from animal sources, such as glycerol or stearic acid, must ensure the halalness of the animal ingredients used and the slaughter process according to Islamic law. Mixtures of chemical ingredients that use non-halal solvents, such as alcohol, should also be avoided.
What needs to be done to ensure the halalness of raw materials?
To ensure the halalness of the materials used, make sure the material already has a halal certificate that can be checked on the material packaging or can be confirmed to the supplier or producer of the halal certificate for the material you purchased.
