Abstract

The Muslim community needs to be halal-aware while selecting food items to avoid falling into the trap of purchasing goods whose halal status is syubhah. The argument among academics is also intense when it comes to topics like gelatin, blood, fat, and animal slaughter. In fact, there are also Muslim communities that are willing to follow the trend of eating food whose halal status may not be known. By conducting a survey of the awareness of halal food selection among the community, we can identify the level of knowledge of the community in choosing halal food products. This paper only focuses on the concept of halal in terms of food. This study has been using electronic Google Forms to collect the data. The methodology of this paper is quantitative, and using a questionnaire, the survey was conducted among the community. As a matter of fact, there are Muslim groups that are prepared to adopt the practice of consuming food whose halal status may not be known. By performing a case study survey on the community's awareness of halal food selection, we can determine the degree of understanding.
