Summary:The aims of this study is to expose the issues encountered on halal logistics mainly for food products as to ensure the integrity status along the supply chain network. Since halal is pertinent for the Muslim and also to the non-Muslim, it makes halal products were recognized and known globally especially for health, safety and hygiene. With a view of that, a study on halal logistics is extremely important in ensuring the concept of halalness is not only applicable for preparation, but also the process of managing the storage, handling of raw materials, procurement, and transport.Those processes include either food or non-food throughout the supply chain network with a compliance of the Shariah principles. The data collection used in the paper is based from a series of interviews and publications.The study would like to contribute some new findings in the halal logistics areas as well as for the future studies.The results were also be recommended to be deeply discussed for the benefits and future practices of halal logistics companies in understanding the halalness concept.
