Halal labeling for every food product is very necessary for the realization of peace of mind of the community, especially Muslims in choosing the desired food and beverage products. The problem in this thesis is how is the legal position of halal certificates on food and beverage products according to Indonesian law, what is the role of the Indonesian Ulema Council of Medan City in granting halal certificates and labels to food and beverage products, what are the obstacles and efforts in granting halal certificates to food and beverage products at the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Assessment Institute (LPPOM) of the Indonesian Ulema Council Medan. In writing this thesis, the author uses the library research method to examine secondary data and field research, namely by conducting research with the authorities at the Medan MUI. Halal certification is only valid for 2 (two) years since the certificate was issued, and must be re-certified. The role of the Indonesian Ulema Council in providing halal certificates and labels on food products is to determine a fatwa on the halalness of food, drug and cosmetic products carried out by the Fatwa Commission after an audit by LP POM MUI and reporting to the Fatwa Commission.
