Regulation of Halal and Healthy Products for Small-scaled Businesses as Consumer Protection
Abstract
AIM: The purpose of the study was to know the regulation on halal and health guarantee of Indonesian snacks
such as cilok (tapioca balls), grilled meatballs, meatball and chicken noodles, dawet drink (traditional drink from rice
flour and coconut milk), crackers, and grass jelly drink. Such snacks and drinks are loved by all levels of society in
Indonesia and are often sold by street vendors in various places.
METHOD: This research uses a juridical-sociological approach, by analyzing the primary source of data, which is by
directly observing, interviewing, and educating the society and the small-scale sellers on the important sense of the
halal product and the halal product certification. Apart from that, the primary data are the Law No. 8 of 1999 on the
Consumer Protection, the Law No. 33 of 2014 on the Halal Product Guarantee, and the Governmental Decree No. 31
of 2019 on the Halal Product Certification.
RESULTS: The realization of consumer protection requires good coordination between the government and/or
regional governments, business actors, and the community as consumers. The need for halal and healthy products
is not only for Muslim communities but also for non-Muslim communities, because halal products are certainly
guaranteed of the products’ hygiene and safety.
CONCLUSION: There is still a lack of understanding and compliance by the small business owners on the halal and
healthy products from the manufacturing process up to the distribution of the products to the public.
