The deadline for the completion of its implementation for foods, beverages, and slaughterhouse services is October 2024. To ensure smooth implementation, the halal status of all raw materials must be traceable, including meat as it is an important ingredient with significant requirements to be halal. This paper discusses the readiness of halal certification implementation, specifically in terms of the traceability of meat circulating in the market. Information cited in this paper comes from literature research and interviews and observations by the author. The results suggest that gaps still exist, ranging from regulation to education regarding the implementation of halal certification.
