According to the Global Islamic Economy Report, the halal industry is no longer a fleeting phenomenon, but rather involves a global demand worth $3 trillion. Indonesia, with the world's largest Muslim population, requires halal certification for everything from food and beverages to cosmetics and even pharmaceuticals, based on its Halal Product Guarantee Law (Law No. 33) of 2014 and Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024, with clearly defined certification dates. Without this certificate, products face the risk of being removed from shelves, banned from sale, hefty fines, and even criminal prosecution. Traditional Chinese medicine, as the essence of my country's traditional culture, has industry characteristics that are closely related to halal certification.

Halal certification is becoming increasingly important in the global food industry as Muslim consumers seek to ensure products meet Islamic dietary laws and Sharia law. With approximately 2.04 billion Muslims residing worldwide, the growing demand for properly certified halal products makes halal certification standards a vital bridge between halal food manufacturers and conscious Muslim consumers.

Overview: The term "kosher" means "appropriate" and refers to food prepared in accordance with kosher laws. To obtain kosher certification, a kosher certification body must prove that all ingredients and the preparation process of a product meet kosher standards. To this end, kosher certification bodies examine the source of all raw materials, including any processing aids that come into contact with the food, verify the kosher status of equipment used in the manufacturing process, and establish a system to monitor and maintain the integrity of raw materials and equipment. Kosher staple foods can generally be divided into three categories: Harmless: Some foods are always accepted as kosher. Typically, these foods include fresh water.

In today's increasingly competitive global market, product certification has become an important passport for enterprises to "go global." Recently, Shenzhen Jacob Star successfully assisted Jiangsu Weichida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in obtaining both HFC Halal and BDZ Kosher certifications in one go, laying a solid foundation for its products to enter the Islamic and Kosher markets.

Vegan, Halal, and Kosher are three different dietary guidelines, originating from modern lifestyles, Islam, and Judaism, respectively. They differ significantly in their religious foundations, scope of application, and specific requirements. The following comparison illustrates these differences from multiple perspectives: 1. Definitions and Religious Foundations • Vegan: Refers to a completely plant-based diet that does not contain any animal products (such as meat, eggs, or dairy), usually chosen for health, environmental, or ethical reasons. It is not a religious precept but rather a personal choice or cultural trend. • Halal:

While vegetarianism is based on respect for animal rights and a vegan diet has been shown to have health and environmental benefits, concerns about affordability can be a barrier to dietary change. However, research highlights that adopting a vegan diet can actually save money.

Why are there so many vegetarians abroad? Their presence has sparked online discussion. From environmentalists' carbon emissions bills to anthropocentric "limited animal protection" theories, from foodies who "surrender" to braised pork late at night, to the unsolved mystery of "why monks don't lack nutrition"... We've excerpted some relevant online discussions, but we're not judging them. Perhaps the world is more diverse than you might imagine, and more real than chicken soup.

The Indonesian National Standard (abbreviated as SNI) is the only product quality and safety certification standard applicable throughout Indonesia.
