9 Product you must aware, 7 of them Halal Certification

When “Halal” Isn’t Always Halal, 9 Products Identified with Haram Ingredients
Recently, Indonesian consumers were shocked by findings from BPOM and BPJPH that revealed nine products contained haram ingredients specifically porcine (pork-derived) components. What made the news even more troubling is that seven of these products had already been certified halal.
This discovery has raised serious concerns about the reliability of halal labeling and has sparked disappointment among consumers who rely on certifications to guide their purchasing decisions.
The 9 Products Identified
With Halal Certification:
- Corniche Fluffy Jelly (Philippines) – certified halal
- Corniche Marshmallow Apple Flavor (Teddy Bear Shape) (Philippines) – certified halal
- ChompChomp Car Mallow (Car Shape) (China) – certified halal
- ChompChomp Flower Mallow (Flower Shape) (China) – certified halal
- ChompChomp Marshmallow Tube Shape (Mini Marshmallow) (China) – certified halal

What This Means for Consumers This incident highlights an important truth: halal certification alone is not always enough. Mistakes or oversights can happen, and relying only on the label may put consumers at risk of unintentionally consuming haram products. That’s why vigilance is essential.
