Criminal Sentences Application towards Offences of Halal Products Guarantees in Aceh

The regulation of halal products has been established in Act No. 33 of 2014 on the Guarantee of Halal Products. According to paragraph (2) of Article 1, "Halalal products are products that have been officially declared halal by Islamic Shariah." Halal items that are assured are also subject to regulation under Article 47 of the Act of Aceh No. 8 of 2016, which pertains to the system for ensuring the halal status of products. According to initial investigations, there have been instances of breaches in the community, namely in Aceh. These cases have not yet been tried by the Aceh Sharia Court, but can still be addressed by the halal auditors at the LPPOM MPU Aceh, in collaboration with other institutions such as the Aceh Drug and Food Supervisory Chamber (BBPOM Aceh), the Pamong Praja Police Unit, and the police. They will conduct on-site reviews, testing, and verification on every product available in the market. Whether it pertains to nourishment, beverages, or personal care products. The research conducted for this study employed the Yuridis empirical research approach. This study aims to elucidate the implementation of criminal penalties for infringements of the Halal Product Warranty in Aceh. According to the research findings, the implementation of penal punishments for violations in Aceh is still flawed since the violations that occur are not severe enough to warrant the application of the Qanun. The LPPOM only employs a persuasive strategy by publicly condemning and cautioning those who commit infractions against the legal guarantee system in Aceh. There are several instances of legal guarantees on food goods being violated in Aceh. The LPPOM guarantees that in the event of highly severe cases about this matter, it will collaborate to eliminate and enforce the consequences outlined in the 8th Law of 2016 with utmost precision.
