ABSTRACT
The importance of establishing laboratories and using analytical techniques of validating authenticity in halal food production for ensuring food safety and protecting consumers from fraud and deception is necessary. With the advancement of science and technology, food processing has become more complex, and foods may contain ingredients and additives from questionable sources. With efficient transportation more new products are introduced onto the shelves in the market across the world and somehow, somewhere foods can be lost in the food chain or not traceable at all. Islam allows humans to utilize the given bountiful resources to fulfill the necessities and circumstances of day-to-day life, including food, and yet one must maintain religious traditions. Religion plays a very influential role in food choice. The backdrop and driving force of this scientific work is the primary guiding influence of Islam, specifically on food consumption, which depends on the extent to which individuals follow the teachings of their religion.
