Assessing the Discrepancy between Halal Certification Progress and Raw Material Compliance in SPPGs
Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the gap between halal certification status and raw material compliance in Nutrition Provision Service Units (SPPG) in Lampung Province, Indonesia. A descriptive mixed-method approach with a multi-case study design was employed involving 58 SPPGs. Quantitative data were obtained from halal certification status records, while qualitative data were collected through field halal audits, observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings showed that none of the SPPGs had obtained final halal certification status. A total of 42 units were still under verification, while 16 units remained in the application process. Field audit results identified several non-conformities, particularly the use of meat products without halal certification, untraceable supplier sources, and inadequate supplier documentation.
The study indicates a significant gap between administrative halal certification processes and actual halal assurance implementation at the operational level. Limited access to halal-certified suppliers and insufficient halal literacy among operators were identified as major contributing factors. Therefore, strengthening supplier validation, raw material control, and internal halal monitoring systems is necessary to ensure sustainable halal compliance in institutional food services.
