Planning of Halal Compliance Critical Control Points and IoT Integration in Halal Chicken Meat Supply Chain Traceability System

Halal chicken meat supply chain (HCMSC) is a Syariah-compliant supply chain which embeds multiple critical control points meant for preserving Halal integrity and ensuring food safety and quality of chicken meat. According to MHMS 2020, halal critical point is at which determination of halal control which needs to be identified, implementing control and contamination can be prevented or eliminated to ensure halal compliance along the supply chain. Halal Traceability System (HTS) is essential in HCMSC to ensure track and trace ability of product’s information at certain identified critical control points from its origin until it reaches consumers. These critical control points are the key components in Halal Assurance System (HAS) to apply for Halal certification. The objective of this study is to identify Halal traceability critical control points (HTCCPs) in HCMSC in Malaysian scenario and explores the potential planning of Internet of Things (IoT) in food traceability system. This is accomplished by conducting a structured review of past studies concerning halal traceability and the IoT as the traceability tool. The study identifies seven HTCCPs across pre-slaughtering, slaughtering, post-slaughtering, and end consumer phases and IoT integration as the support platform in HTS-HCMSC framework.
