Certifications, Regulations, And Challenges Interpretation
Despite more than 400 global halal certification bodies and rapid issuance such as Indonesia’s 500,000 halal certificates per year and Malaysia’s 10,000 F and B products annually, the lack of a unified EU standard with 15 national schemes and survey data showing 85% of consumers distrust non certified labels highlights that certifications and regulations still face major trust and harmonization challenges.
