Abstract

This research is motivated by the large number of business actors in Sedau Village, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, who sell processed products but have not received halal certification. Halal certification through self-declaration is the recognition of the halalness of a product for MSE actors based on the statement of business actors regarding the halal status of the product based on the provisions stipulated by BPJPH with the requirement that business actors have a companion who has been registered to undergo the halal product process and the halal determination process by the MUI fatwa commission. Halal certification is regulated in Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee in article 4 which states that every product that enters, circulates and is traded in the territory of Indonesia must be halal certified. The discussion in this journal is (1) What are the factors that cause the lack of legal awareness of MSE actors in carrying out halal certification through self-declaration?
