The lack of information presented on the food packaging of specific food product usually lead to confusion, thus redundant unsold goods are stacked-up in the shopping market. Barcode, labels and ingredients information by far is not adequate to authenticate the validity of the food information claimed by the manufacturer or food producer. This long-established approach fails to inform the users and no longer fits in this cyber world. Much work has been carried out to find the best solution to ensure information presented on the food packaging is valid yet legitimate. In similar cases by big food store, shows the agility of RFID has assist them to better track their food status. The idea of this tracking system is to help consumer to have the knowledge and also the power as the consumer to assist them to make a decision which product they can buy or not. With this tracking systems they also can track down manufacturer and also if the manufacturer follows the Islamic guidelines. Other than that it also can help the authorities’ body to always keep track which each of the manufacturer maintain standards and guidelines of the Islamic Law. The tracking systems that will be developed are called RFID in Halal Tracking System.
