The number of Muslim population globally in 2021 will reach 1.8 billion people
with the potential for spending on halal products to reach 2.2 trillion USD. Based on data
from the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, the number of Muslims
in Indonesia reaches 237 million people (Rahman, Nainggolan, & Sinambela, 2023).
Indonesia is predicted by the Ministry of Industry to experience an increase in
consumption of halal products by 3.2 trillion rupiah in 2024. Based on the 2022 State of
The Global Islamic Economy (SGIE) Report, it was found that Indonesia ranked 2nd in
halal food products. This shows that halal food consumption in Indonesia has a
considerable dominance in the global Sharia market (Musataklima, 2021).
As one of the products needed by humans, food is a basic need that is the most
important. Regarding food, this has been guaranteed in the constitution Article 28C
paragraph (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945 (Constitution of
the Republic of Indonesia in 1945), stipulating that everyone has the right to develop

services related to food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, chemical products, biological
products, genetically engineered products, and consumer goods that are used, used, or

Currently, the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) has been formed, which
is an institution authorized by the state to implement norms, standards, procedures and
criteria for Halal Product Assurance as mandated by Law 33/2014 (Aziz, 2017). This
regulation has also changed as regulated based on Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the
Stipulation of Government Regulations instead of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job

followers of Islam, in the circulation of consumer goods, it is mandatory to meet halal
standards for products marketed (BADZLINA, 2021).
Talking about institutions or agencies related to halal certification of a consumer
