Many companies believe that having a HALAL certificate and a sticker is all they need. In reality, using the wrong sticker equals inaccurate certification...

“Each of us bears an important responsibility in the halal ecosystem. Through close unity and strong collaboration among the government, Ulima scholars, halal auditing bodies, and all relevant stakeholders, we hope that halal product certification and assurance in Indonesia will continue to improve and bring broader benefits to the people,” he said.
Meanwhile, Muhammad Cholil Nafis, head of the executive body of the Indonesian Ulama Committee (DSN-MUI), also emphasized the need to maintain a consistent approach in ensuring the halal quality of products. Although the responsibilities of each agency differ, their common goal is the same: to ensure that all products entering the market meet halal requirements.
“This event has deepened our understanding of each other. We will work together to ensure the certification of halal products in the market. The spirit of missionary work must be upheld, including maintaining unity among halal auditors, halal supervisors, and scholars of the Fatwa Committee,” said Jolile Nafis.
He further pointed out that the moment of breaking the fast (buka puasa bersama) symbolizes the importance of unity among all elements of the halal ecosystem in fulfilling their mission and entrustment to the public (the faithful). "This breaking the fast signifies that we must be in the same direction and at the same pace (one policy, one rhythm). Let us maintain cohesion and unity not only in our halal certification work, but also in upholding the trust and entrustment we have with the public," he continued.
After the event, Muti Arintawati, CEO of the Indonesian Halal Product Inspection Agency (LPPOM), expressed his hope that the meeting would further strengthen the cooperation between BPJPH and halal auditing agencies.
“Thank you for the invitation this afternoon. I hope that we can cooperate more closely in the future to jointly solve various problems and help strengthen the halal cause in Indonesia and the world,” she said.
Similarly, Elvina A Rahayu, president of the Indonesian Halal Auditing Association (ALPHI), pointed out that the event provided an important opportunity to enhance communication and collaboration among the various organizations.
The warm iftar meal was followed by a collective Maghrib prayer (sholat Maghrib berjamaah). Taking advantage of Ramadan, BPJPH hopes to strengthen collaboration among organizations within the halal service ecosystem, thereby streamlining and integrating halal product certification and assurance in Indonesia and bringing greater practical benefits to the public.
