Dream - As Muslims, it is mandatory to pay attention to the halal status of every food and drink consumed. Not only from the ingredients, but also from the place and utensils used for cooking, everything must be halal. All producers are required to meet the standards of the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. That is what McDonald's Indonesia restaurant chain has also done. The restaurant chain under PT Rekso Nasional Food has just received a halal certificate that is valid for a lifetime from the BPJPH of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

This aims to ensure that the entire process of providing menus to consumers is in accordance with halal standards and the principle of halalan thayyiban, which means halal and good. Literally, halal means permissible or not bound, while thayyib means good, excellent (al-hasan), healthy (al-mu'afa), and delicious (al-ladzidz). Everything that is good and healthy is certainly halal, but not everything that is halal is necessarily good. Not only that, McDonald's Indonesia is also committed to continuously maintaining its halal status, which has been upheld for 30 years.

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Representatives of McDonald's Indonesia must then undergo training and competency tests to obtain the Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH) training certificate and competency certificate. In order to maintain the halalness of its menu, McDonald's Indonesia only collaborates with suppliers who have met the halal standards of BPJPH, including for chicken menu. Additionally, McDonald's Indonesia also collaborates with meat suppliers from Australia who have obtained approval from BPJPH and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia."

Then, the crew's contaminant factor from McDonald's Indonesia is always active in reminding consumers not to bring food and drinks from outside that can contaminate other products. Finally, McDonald's Indonesia's audit system continues to collaborate in maintaining the halalness of every product and its outlets throughout Indonesia. "This is in accordance with the principle of Halalan Thayyiban. The entire process is closely monitored. We also conduct internal audits for the halal system every year," explained Ronni.
