Track: Supply Chain Management

Abstract

Particularly, Food integrity is a comprehensive construct that relates to food production. Halal Food Integrity (HFI) means that in producing food, Islamic law should be noticed and applied. Halal integrity of the product is a result of
the various activities in the supply chain, so HFI encapsulates the whole of the Halal Food Supply Chain (HFSC). This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on HFI and some research agendas on it. Using SLR
methodology and based on the Preferred Reporting for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. In total, by 89 articles from Scopus database, published in journals over 12 years, 34 articles were selected, mapped, and assessed. The bibliometric approach made it possible to extract a large amount of useful information which was previously scattered and to present it in a systematic way. The analysis of the co-occurrence network of keywords identified five distinct clusters, corresponding to the dominant research themes in the area, which suggested the design of a research agenda. The authors find that the key to improved halal integrity is transparency so that consumers can make informed decisions. Halal transparency along the food supply chain could be enhanced by a halal traceability system. Unfortunately, there are some barriers and challenges in adopting advanced traceability technology in Many companies, especially in developing countries. Future research agendas could be in the area of enhancing traceability technology to ensure HFI while considering the barrier and inhibitor that encountered by many food companies
