Indonesia strengthens the supervision of non halal labels

Pay attention to the conflicts between the labeling of sensitizing substances and MFDs laws; recently, it was suggested that Indonesia is strengthening the supervision of non halal label products, and enterprises exporting products to Indonesia need to do a good job in this regard. &Nbspgreen nature farm, on behalf of LIM junhwan, recently contributed to KOTRA, saying that with the implementation of Indonesia's Halal product certification law, enterprises need to have a good understanding and preparation of the legal provisions. The new halal certification system will be implemented from October 17 this year. In 2014, Indonesia's parliament, while developing its own halal industry and the world's Halal industry, passed the Through negotiation, the halal product certification law was passed. The main content of this system is that food, beverage, medicine, cosmetics, chemical, biological and genetically modified products and other related goods and services must obtain halal certification. On October 17, 2026, the halal certification of drugs and cosmetics began to be compulsory. The new online system for halal certification is halal.go.id and is currently being upgraded. It is estimated that it will take another six months to rectify the website system and verify its evaluation. At present, due to the insufficient preparation of the Indonesian government and the halal certification office in the system preparation and implementation of detailed rules, the halal certification compulsory process has been postponed for another five years.

Starting from October 17, 2024, five years later, the transition period is over, and the application may be delayed. It is suggested to set aside time to apply for certification. The validity period of halal certification obtained from bpjph is 4 years, and that of Mui is 2 years. The certified products of nbspbpjph and overseas halal certification institutions that have mutual recognition and cooperation do not need to apply for new certification, only need to complete other registration processes. Especially after the implementation of the new halal certification system, the relevant label management and supervision will be more strict, and the regulations of the label tend to conflict with the provisions of the South Korean food and product safety department, so it needs to be noted. In Korea, according to the food and Drug Department's food and other labeling standards, even if there is no product using pork as raw material, if it is produced in the manufacturing facilities (including raw material warehouse) that operate pork, a warning should be added due to sensitization problems. In other words, even if there is no pork ingredient, according to Korean law, products with words must go through a more rigorous review process when entering Indonesia. The Mui halal certification received by nbsp before October 16, 2019 can still be issued for halal certification review and certification, and its effectiveness is also recognized. 3 months before the expiration of the period, the existing halal certification or valid certification must be declared and registered with the halal certification office. The representative of nbspgreen nature farm, Lim junhwan, said that with the long-term construction time of the administrative system stipulated in the halal certification law, even in the transitional period, the issuance of new halal certification must be handled.
