Legal Protection for Consumers Through Halal Certification Mandate of Law Number 33 of 2014 Concerning Guarantees for Halal Products

Abstract

This article will discuss legal protection for consumers through halal certification efforts as mandated in the JPH Law. By using a juridical-normative approach to examine in depth the legal protection for consumers regarding the implementation of halal certification. After analysis, it can be seen that there is harmony between the JPH Law and the PK Law in terms of legal protection for consumers. The existence of consumer rights that must be fulfilled as stated in the PK Law requires the fulfillment of consumer rights so that legal certainty for consumers can be realized. The right to security and safety as well as the right to obtain correct information is one of the rights guaranteed by law with the existence of halal certification. Through the obligation of product halal certification for business actors, it has a positive impact on consumers so that consumers no longer feel worried about product halal guarantees and consumers can be protected .
