Implication

Qualitative review demonstrates the convergence of market commodification and personal piety in Indonesian halal certification, highlighting the need for regulatory oversight of certification bodies.

Key Points

  • To examine the intersection and convergence between market commodification and religious piety within the context of halal certification in Indonesia.
  • Conducted a conceptual and anthropological review examining the socio-economic drivers of halal consumption, including capitalism, globalization, and advances in food biotechnology.
  • Analyzed competing scholarly interpretations characterizing halal certification as either commercial religious commodification or a genuine expression of Islamic piety.
  • Finds that halal certification serves as a point of convergence between the sacred (devotional purity) and the profane (commercial trade), rather than mutually exclusive practices.
  • Identifies the proliferation of modern food processing, chemical synthesis, and biotechnology as a key driver necessitating institutional halal verification for religious adherence.
