TRACEABILITY OF HALAL CHICKEN MEAT ACCORDING TO THE UUJPH: A CASE STUDY OF GAMPING MARKET

Abstract

Halal certification is a reliable and authentic proof of a product's halal status, including chicken meat. Meanwhile, many chicken meat vendors, particularly at the retail level, still lack halal certificates. So, how is its halal status guaranteed? The purpose of this research is to investigate the halal supply chain of chicken meat at the retail level, as mandated by the Halal Assurance Law. The research method employed is qualitative, utilizing a case study analysis. Data collection technique through in-depth interviews with chicken sellers in the market and chicken suppliers. The research results show that, according to the Law on Animal Health and Welfare, there are two types of chicken meat sold in the Gamping market that are halal. First, if the chicken meat is supplied from a halal-certified RPA, it is considered halal, accompanied by a written assurance in the form of a halal certificate. Meanwhile, for the second pattern, chicken vendors in the market slaughter the chickens themselves and are not yet halal-certified. According to the JPH Law, this does not fully meet the halal criteria. However, according to Islamic jurisprudence, the guarantee is the buyer's trust that the slaughterer is muslim.

Sertifikasi halal merupakan bukti yang andal dan autentik mengenai status halal suatu produk, termasuk daging ayam. Namun, banyak penjual daging ayam, terutama di tingkat ritel, masih belum memiliki sertifikat halal. Lalu, bagaimana status halal produk tersebut dijamin? Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki rantai pasok halal daging ayam di tingkat ritel, sesuai dengan ketentuan Undang-Undang Jaminan Halal. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif, dengan analisis studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan penjual ayam di pasar dan pemasok ayam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, berdasarkan Undang-Undang Kesehatan dan Kesejahteraan Hewan, terdapat dua jenis daging ayam yang dijual di Pasar Gamping yang dianggap halal. Pertama, jika daging ayam disuplai dari RPA yang bersertifikat halal, maka dianggap halal, disertai dengan jaminan tertulis berupa sertifikat halal. Sementara itu, untuk pola kedua, penjual ayam di pasar menyembelih ayam sendiri dan belum bersertifikat halal. Menurut Undang-Undang JPH, hal ini tidak sepenuhnya memenuhi kriteria halal. Namun, menurut hukum Islam, jaminan tersebut adalah kepercayaan pembeli bahwa penyembelihnya adalah muslim.
