R Widya Setiabudi Sumadinata, Vice Rector for Resource\nAffairs and Governance at Unpad, stated that the halal issue currently\ninvolves aspects of health, welfare and governance of public life that\nare broader, both in Muslim and non-Muslim countries. \u2018Nowadays halal is\nnot merely about a label, but about the process and the quality\nassurance of a product until it reaches the hands of the public. When\nthe process is carried out correctly, the results will bring goodness,\u2019\nhe said in Bandung on Wednesday. In line with this, Director General of\nIslamic Community Guidance of the Ministry of Religion Abu Rokhmad\nemphasised the importance of strengthening halal literacy from an early\nage, especially for the younger generation so they are not trapped in a\nfalse sense of security due to living in a majority-Muslim environment.\n\u2018Indonesia already has a legal umbrella regulating halal product\nassurance that provides certainty for consumption of food, medicines,\nand cosmetics. Now halal has developed into part of the industry and\nglobal lifestyle,\u2019 he said. Abu Rokhmad added that the high interest of\ninternational business actors to penetrate the Indonesian market through\nhalal certification opens up great opportunities for students to\nparticipate in the multidisciplinary halal industry ecosystem.<\/p>",
