Malaysia Halal Certification Authority (JAKIM)

The Malaysia Halal Certification Authority, known as JAKIM, is an official government body responsible for certifying that products and services meet specific Islamic dietary and lifestyle standards. This certification ensures that food, beverages, cosmetics, and other goods are permissible for Muslims to consume or use, free from forbidden (haram) ingredients and proper handling processes. JAKIM’s endorsement helps consumers confidently identify authentic halal products and promotes trust and consistency across the industry. Its role is vital in supporting Malaysia’s position as a global hub for halal-certified goods.
