| Summary: | Halal food compliance is a critical issue for Muslim consumers, hence becomes a
major challenge for Malaysia as a leader in the development of global halal market. This study
provides a review of the regulatory system in the poultry industry practised in Malaysia and
explores common problems faced by the authorities in enforcing halal compliance among
poultry slaughtering and processing businesses. Halal compliance describes the ability of the
businesses to act according to halal requirements as outlined by the halal authority. Their
level of compliance depends on the effectiveness of the enforcement efforts. A content
analysis approach was employed to gather adequate data for the purpose of this study. The
results show that securing halal compliance requires collective efforts and coordination
between the regulatory bodies involved in the industry. This study provides better
understanding of control mechanism in halal industry in general, which helps in securing halal
authenticity and subsequently halal integrity throughout food supply chains as envisioned in
the Halal Industrial Master Plan (HIMP). |
