The UUJPH's halal certificate laws have clarified matters for the protection of consumers, particularly Muslims. The state is adamant about shielding Muslim customers from goods that are neither halal nor certified halal. The Indonesian government has enacted Law Number 6 of 2023 addressing job development, which contains laws on the authority to issue halal certification and halal emblems in Indonesia, as well as Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Certification.
