KUALA LUMPUR: The “halal” status no longer simply means that the food or drink in question does not contain pork or alcohol, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the definition of halal has evolved over the past few decades, expanding beyond the avoidance of impermissible food.
“The traditional view of halal is no more. In the past, halal meant no pork or alcohol in the food.
“But today, halal also signifies (food) safety, cleanliness, and the use of sophisticated methods to avoid harmful products,” he said when opening the Malaysia International Halal Showcase 2024 (Mihas) here today.
Anwar said halal products can be globally competitive as the certification demands stricter standards than those generally accepted internationally.
Meanwhile, investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said Malaysia aims for RM75 billion in halal export value, or 11% of the gross domestic product, by 2030.
