A review on integrating food science and law for digital halal evidence in Indonesian logistics

The integrity of halal ingredients in cold chain logistics relies on biological safety and legally verifiable traceability for storage and transportation. Traditional halal certifications, however, still rely. Mostly on periodic manual inspection and paper, which in themselves offer only snapshot proof and cannot guarantee continuous compliance or provide legally binding digital proofs. This constrains the bridging between scientifically determined quantities and regulatory validation. The study proposes a comprehensive integrated interdisciplinary evidentiary model based on the intersection of food science measurement, Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring, and blockchain technology to convert temperature stability and segregation compliance information into legally acceptable halal digital evidence. A qualitative research design using systematic literature review (2015 – 2025), technical validation analysis, and qualitative case study evaluation of logistics monitoring practices was applied.
