        "summary": "Indonesia's Halal Product Assurance Agency is calling on businesses to secure halal certification ahead of an October 2026 deadline that will extend mandatory compliance to micro, small, and imported products. The expanded regulation, rooted in the nation's Halal Product Guarantee Law, aims to enforce product safety and traceability standards across Southeast Asia's largest economy. Officials cautioned that failure to comply will result in sanctions ranging from written warnings and fines to the revocation of certificates and forced product recalls.",
