INTRODUCTION
In Malaysian plural society, the Muslims
are very sensitive towards their faith and
beliefs especially when it concerns the
food that they take and the issue of halal
and haram.
In this sense, food and consumer
products are contributing factor towards
the unity or disunity in the society of
multi-racial, religious and cultural
background. Therefore, it is important to
have products that can be consumed by
all religious believers. Halal products fit
into human needs as it encompassed
standards that match the demand and
needs of everyone.

legal, licit, legitimate, permissible, permitted, allowable,
allowed, admissible, un-prohibited, unforbidden.

 Case Study: Illegal Labeling and The Abuse of Halal Certificate

Issues on Halal
JAKIM introduced their authorized halal logo, it had spawned more awareness
among the Muslims. That accelerated the Muslim consumers to consume halal
products or engage in services thatfollow Shariah guidelines and principles. The
Certified Labelling halal logo also certifies food outlets which are permissible to be occupied by
Muslims. The purpose of this certification is to indicate that their products meet
the Shariah requirements. This indirectly creates noteworthy benefits to the
particular manufacturers that have halal labeling certification as opposed to
their opponents that do not own halal certification.
Halal food demands are rising although the consumers are being cheated with
non–halal products and in the wrong labeling of the products which raise the
sensitivity of Muslims in this country. However, it is not easy to investigate the
product once the food is packed. As a result, the Muslims depend on the
responsible authority to check the status of halal and harmful
products.Nevertheless, holding the halal certificate in Malaysia is a voluntary
act that creates some problems with illegitimate and unlawful use of the halal
logo and halal certificate. That action impinges on the sensitivity of Muslim
consumers in Malaysia and therefore, they may hesitate to buy or have doubt in
selecting food and other goods for their consumption.
