Abstract
This article will discuss the philosophical underpinnings of halal product
assurance regulation and the relationship between global cultural, political, and economic
variables and halal product assurance in Indonesia. The research method employed is
normative legal research, which is prescriptive in nature, particularly how halal product
guarantees should be regulated in Indonesia. The method is legislative and conceptual in
nature. Secondary data were gathered through a review of the literature. The deductive
syllogism approach is used to analyze data, with Pancasila and cybernetic theory serving as
essential axioms. In comparison, the minor premise is based on legal facts and laws
governing halal certification in Indonesia. The findings indicate that, first and foremost, the
regulation of halal product guarantees should be based on Pancasila's philosophy. Second,
economic globalization, which is dominated by capitalist ideology, demonstrates that
economic and political power combined with a high degree of energy can condition the Halal
Product Guarantee Act (UUJPH), which is subsequently changed by the Job Creation Act.
One of the revisions to the Halal Product Guarantee Law is that the obligation for micro and
small company actors to be certified halal is based on their own statements without scrutiny
by the Halal Inspection Agency (LPH). By reducing inspections by LPH, the government
makes it easier for micro and small company players to register halal certificates,
demonstrating that economic interests can influence legal rules with little effort. Due to the
existence of this policy, Muslim consumers' rights in halal products may face less legal
certainty.
