\t\t\t\t\tDenpasar (ANTARA) – Indonesia\u2019s Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) has urged companies to secure halal certification for their products ahead of a sweeping mandatory policy set to take effect on Oct. 18, 2026.<\/p>\n
The absolute mandate, enforced under the country’s Halal Product Guarantee Law and a subsequent 2024 government regulation, expands the state’s oversight to ensure consumers have access to verified, safe, and traceable goods.<\/p>\n
“This absolute obligation covers several product types as stipulated in the regulation,” BPJPH Head Ahmad Haikal Hasan said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The October 2026 deadline marks a massive expansion of Indonesia’s phased halal push, which initially focused on food and beverage products from medium and large enterprises in late 2024. <\/p>\n
The upcoming policy broadens that scope significantly, pulling in micro and small local enterprises alongside foreign and imported products sold within Southeast Asia’s largest economy.<\/p>\n
Officials warned that non-compliance after the deadline will trigger strict administrative sanctions. <\/p>\n
Depending on the severity of the violation, companies could face written warnings, steep administrative fines, the revocation of existing certificates, or full product recalls from the Indonesian market.<\/p>\n
Hasan urged businesses to utilize the remaining months to integrate into the framework, emphasizing that certification has transcended traditional religious compliance to become a global commercial benchmark.<\/p>\n
“Today, halal is no longer just a necessity for Muslims,” Hasan said. “Halal has become a universally accepted and globally recognized standard of quality, safety, transparency, traceability, and trustworthiness.”<\/p>\n
