The Implementation of Halal Certification of Online Food and Beverage Products Based on Aceh Qanun in Banda Aceh

In Indonesia, there is a strict requirement that all food and beverages sold must be certified as halal. The obligation for halal certification is clearly stated in Article 4 of Law No.33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee, which states that any products entering, circulating, and being traded within Indonesia must have this certification. This means that businesses involved in the production and trade of food products in Indonesia must obtain halal certification and display the halal logo on their packaging. This legal framework is crucial for the government to effectively regulate halal products in the country. But in reality, in Banda Aceh, business actors still sell food and beverage products that have not been halal-certified. The purpose of this study is to examine the level of consumer protection provided by the requirement of halal certification for food and beverage products in Banda Aceh. It will also explore the challenges faced in implementing this certification in the region, as well as the measures taken to impose legal sanctions on businesses that fail to obtain halal certification in Banda Aceh.
