The Halal Inspection Body (LPH) LPPOM confirms that the halal certificate document in the name of PT Cahaya Barokah Mandiri Group, located in Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan, with the number SH 03340054160723, which is circulating under the name LPPOM DKI Jakarta, is fake and invalid.
The certificate is known to have been used by irresponsible individuals for tender purposes, by listing the name of a business actor who appears to have an official halal certificate. Based on the results of LPPOM’s internal verification, several irregularities were found, which confirmed that the document was not an official product of LPPOM or BPJPH, including:
- The Halal certificate number 03340054160723 and data on the business actor, PT Cahaya Barokah Mandiri Group, are not recorded in the official LPH LPPOM or BPJPH system.
- The date of issuance of the certificate does not comply with applicable regulations. Since the enactment of Act No. 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Assurance, official halal certificates are only issued by BPJPH, and accredited LPHs, including LPPOM, carry out the examination.
- With this explanation, we urge all parties to exercise greater care and avoid involvement in illegal practices that can harm the community and compromise the integrity of halal certification in Indonesia.
- If you need further information or suspect any misuse or fraud, the public can report it to BPJPH via the website https://bpjph.halal.go.id/. Alternatively, you can also contact LPPOM through their website channel: www.halalmui.org, Call Centre Halo LPPOM at 14056, email: [email protected], or WhatsApp at 08111148696. (***)
