A halal label is an official sign that your product has undergone inspection and been certified halal in accordance with national standards. In an era of increasingly discerning consumers, the halal label is no longer a formality—it’s a tool of trust, a brand differentiator, and a sales driver.
For businesses in food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even slaughtering services, the halal label is a crucial requirement for product acceptance in national and global markets. This is why more and more businesses are seriously pursuing halal certification through LPH LPPOM, a trusted Halal Inspection Agency.
What is Halal Certification?
Halal certification involves inspections of ingredients, production processes, facilities, and the halal assurance system to ensure products comply with Islamic law.
The final result is a halal certificate from BPJPH, which is then translated into an official halal label on your product packaging.
Currently, halal certificates are valid for life as long as there are no changes to the ingredients or processes—this makes halal certification a long-term investment for your business.
Why is the Halal Label So Beneficial?
1. Instantly Increases Consumer trust
Muslim (and non-Muslim) consumers have more trust in halal-labeled products because they are perceived as more hygienic, safe, and controlled.
2. Opens Wider Market Access
Modern retailers, marketplaces, hotels, and even exporters require halal labels as a listing requirement.
3. Increases Product Sales Value
Halal-labeled products have been proven to have a higher conversion rate than products without a halal label.
4. Regulatory Compliance = Safe Business
Applying for halal certification means you comply with BPJPH regulations and avoid future sanctions.
The Role of Testing Labs in Halal Certification
One crucial stage is inspection by a testing lab. What Is a Halal Testing Lab? Food testing labs test for critical ingredients such as:
- Pork DNA
- Alcohol
- Animal-derived ingredients
- Cross-contamination
The LPH LPPOM collaborates with accredited testing labs to ensure results are valid and recognized by BPJPH.
This is why choosing the right halal certification assistant is crucial to ensuring the smooth running of your process.
