What is it about?
This study explores how halal food traceability ensures that food products comply with Islamic dietary laws from production to consumption. While many consumers rely on halal certification logos, a complete traceability system is necessary to maintain food safety, quality, and authenticity. The research reviews existing studies on halal supply chain management, identifying key challenges and solutions for improving traceability. By developing a Halal Food Sustainable Traceability Framework (HFSTF), this study provides insights that can help businesses, regulators, and consumers better understand and implement transparent and reliable halal food systems.

Why is it important?
The halal food industry is expanding globally, but ensuring transparency and traceability in halal food supply chains remains a challenge. This research is important because it highlights the gaps in current halal traceability systems and offers a comprehensive framework (HFSTF) to improve food safety, sustainability, and halal compliance. With growing consumer awareness and increasing regulatory requirements, this study provides critical insights for businesses, policymakers, and certification bodies to enhance trust and integrity in halal food markets. By addressing key challenges and proposing solutions, this research contributes to strengthening the global halal food ecosystem.
Perspectives
The importance of halal traceability goes beyond compliance—it directly impacts consumer trust, food safety, and sustainability in the global market. This study was driven by the need to bridge the gap between certification and actual traceability, ensuring that halal food is not only labeled as halal but verifiably halal throughout the supply chain. By exploring barriers and enablers in implementing sustainable halal traceability, this research offers a foundation for future innovations, including digital solutions like blockchain-based verification. Strengthening halal integrity requires collaboration between governments, businesses, and consumers, and this study contributes to that ongoing effort.
