Abstract:

This study sought to develop a theoretical perspective on the legal regulation of halal food in Indonesia. Halal food groups effectively raise the standard of living of Muslims and other communities that purchase halal food. However, unethical business activities and the rise of globalization have led to a shift in business practices, with corrupt practices becoming obstacles to the manufacture and supply of halal food under the law. This study was based on secondary data culled from prior studies and subjected to extensive analysis to determine a theoretical concept of legal control of halal cuisine in Indonesia. The study suggests that legislative control of halal food in Indonesia is necessary because the Muslim community only purchases halal cuisine. In addition, this study indicates that regulatory authorities should focus on developing measures to combat unethical practices successfully. Significant theoretical and practical implications are drawn from the study for Indonesian halal food industry stakeholders.
