Analysis of Halal Traceability Implementation in the Halal Food Industry in Indonesia: A Literature Review

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Halal Traceability System to ensure integrity and transparency within the Indonesian food supply chain, driven by national regulatory mandates and Muslim consumer demand. The main problem addressed is the implementation gap of halal traceability system, particularly among Small and Medium Enterprises (MSEs), and the necessity to integrated digital technology with the existing regulatory framework. The approach employed is a systematic qualitative literature analysis to synthesis findings, concepts, and challeges from various scholarly sources. The results indicate that halal traceability system impelementation is critically urgent and is heavily driven by regulation (Law No. 33 year 2014), with blockchain and RFID technology identified as key models for ensuring data immutability and transparency. In conlusion, halal traceability is the essential mechanism that operationalizes halal integrity, and the effectiveness of halal traceability system relies heavily on the synergy between technology, top management commitment, and the digital validation of the certification process. The implication suggest the need to develop an integrated, affordable, and scalable national halal traceability platform to strengthen Indonesia’s position as a global halal hub and enhance consumer trust.
