The commitment to strengthening Halal Product Assurance (JPH)\ncontinues without regard to working days. The Head of the Halal Product\nAssurance Organising Agency (BPJPH), Ahmad Haikal Hasan, still went\ndirectly to carry out a surprise inspection (sidak) at Kramat Jati\nMarket.<\/p>\n
This raid underscores that supervision and education on the mandatory\nhalal certification obligation continue consistently to ensure business\nactors\u2019 compliance and provide maximum protection to the public.<\/p>\n
During the activity, the BPJPH Head, familiarly known as Babe Haikal,\ndirectly inspected various commodities sold, from fresh food products\nand processed meat to ready-to-eat foods and packaged products. He also\nengaged directly in dialogue with the traders, while providing practical\nunderstanding of the halal certification application process and the\nimportance of affixing halal labels on products.<\/p>\n
In his interactions with the traders, Babe Haikal emphasised that\nBPJPH is not only present to supervise but also to assist business\nactors in fulfilling their halal obligations. This educational approach\nis an important part in ensuring the effective implementation of\nmandatory halal in the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext Monday, we\u2019ll come here again, we\u2019ll teach how to get the halal\ncertificate. Once it\u2019s done, it should be affixed here,\u201d said Babe\nHaikal, in a written statement, Wednesday (1\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Babe Haikal conveyed this on Sunday (29\/3) to the traders who\nwelcomed him enthusiastically. He reaffirmed the commitment to direct\nassistance for business actors.<\/p>\n
He added that people\u2019s markets, such as Kramat Jati Market, hold a\nstrategic position in the product distribution chain, so the level of\nhalal product assurance compliance in the market is crucial in\nprotecting consumers.<\/p>\n
Babe Haikal also expressed his hope that Kramat Jati Market could\nbecome an example of a halal-compliant market. All business actors\nunderstand and properly implement the halal certification\nobligation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope Kramat Jati Market can become a halal-compliant market. That\nmeans business actors are compliant, their products have clear halal\nstatus, and the public feels safe and comfortable,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
In addition, he reminded again that products derived from non-halal\ningredients must clearly state non-halal information and be separated in\nplacement from halal products to avoid potential\ncross-contamination.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, pork must be separated from halal meat. That\u2019s the\nstandard, so non-halal is fine, and halal is also guaranteed,\u201d he\ncontinued.<\/p>\n
In line with the upcoming enforcement of mandatory halal\ncertification in October 2026, BPJPH will continue to strengthen\nsocialisation, education, literacy, facilitation, and ongoing\nsupervision, including through direct assistance to business actors in\ntraditional markets in implementing halal certification.<\/p>\n
This step is part of efforts to ensure the optimal implementation of\nthe Halal Product Assurance system throughout the supply chain.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/holiday-raid-bpjph-educates-market-traders-on-mandatory-halal-certification-1775019115", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
