About BPJPH / MUI
Indonesia's government agency BPJPH manages halal certification, with the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) providing the religious rulings. Indonesia has made halal certification mandatory for many product categories, which affects food companies exporting there.
How to check a certificate
- Look for the logo on the pack or a certificate displayed in the restaurant, with an expiry date.
- Search the business or product on BPJPH / MUI's official website.
- Be wary of logos that look similar but are not the official mark.
