Abstract

Preparing and serving halal and toyyib food is a responsibility shared by Malaysian vendors. It appears to be a growing awareness of the importance of ensuring the halal status of food consumed  in  Muslim  society.  Malaysian Muslim customer  are  increasingly  concerned  with  the uncertain  status  of  food  products,  especially  those  that prepared by non-Muslim vendors. Non-Muslim vendors may not understand the concept of halal and haram, thus this situation exposes consumers to foods containing syubhah (doubtful) or haram substances. Hence, Malaysia's halal authority  and  government  have  stressed  the  need  for  manufacturers  and  business owners to adopt halal certification (Mohd, 2019).
