“…The existing laws have further contributed to Malaysia's position as a global leader in the Halal pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, the laws related to Halal pharmaceuticals including the Sales of Drugs Act 1952, Medicines (Advertisement and Sale) Act 1956, and the Poison Act 1956 require manufacturers to provide safe, efficient, and good-quality products (Aziz et al, 2022). While these acts address certain Halal issues, they lack the specific provisions for Halal monitoring, which leads to Muslim consumers' vulnerability and affects their rights (Zakaria, 2008;Halim et al, 2014).…”

The demand for Halal pharmaceutical products in Malaysia has been on the rise, but this positive trend is accompanied by concerning issues such as the use of fake Halal logos and the inclusion of non-Halal ingredients in pharmaceutical products, which present risks to consumers and undermine trust in the industry. Accordingly, tort law emerges as one of the legal mechanisms for consumers seeking redress in cases involving fake Halal logos and non-Halal ingredients. With the application of a doctrinal method based on qualitative legal research methodology, this article analyses the remedies under tort law. The study investigates the effectiveness of remedies provided by tort law in dealing with these issues. Findings reveal that the existing remedies under tort law do not entirely safeguard consumers’ apprehensions related to fake Halal logos and non-Halal ingredients. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive review of existing laws to ensure that they provide complete protection for consumers and help to promote the continuous growth of the Halal pharmaceutical industry in Malaysia.
