Abstract

This research aims to analyze the form of legal protection for consumers for food products that are not labeled halal. The research method used is empirical legal research, using a conceptual approach, a statutory approach and a sociological approach. Legal protection in the case of food products not labeled halal can be classified in two ways, namely the first by looking at the existence of the Consumer Protection Law which provides guidance and education to consumers to become smarter and more careful consumers in choosing the products they want, p. it can be classified into preventive legal protection. Repressive legal protection, namely the final form of legal protection provided by the State, which can be in the form of fines, imprisonment or other punishments, is by providing legal responsibility for business actors who still do not provide a halal label on their products. We can find legal protection for consumers in the Consumer Protection Law (lex generalis) and the Halal Product Guarantee Act (lex specialist). The protection provided is providing legal responsibility to business actors by imposing administrative sanctions in the form of fines, temporary suspension of production and/or distribution activities, withdrawal from circulation, compensation and even revocation of permits.
