Halal Meat Supply Chain Traceability based on HACCP, Blockchain and Internet of Things

Abstract

Recently, Halal food has drawn remarkable attention of many consumers around the world. Besides to being unsafe, Halal food such as meat can encounter several issues throughout its supply chain and logistics. At any time, Halal integrity is not guaranteed and risks of becoming non-Halal is the major concern of all parties along the supply chain. To respond to Muslim consumers’ trust concerns in Halal food, many traceability systems were proposed in previous studies based on emerging technologies and recommended to be incorporated into Halal food supply chains. Nevertheless, all of these systems are centralized, opaque and not enough transparent. To mitigate these problems, blockchain technology is introduced as a ground-breaking innovation with greater decentralization, visibility and transparency. This paper makes a major contribution in suggesting Halal meat supply chain traceability system for real-time food tracing based on embedding Islamic dietary law into HACCP, blockchain and Internet of Things.

Blockchain as a Driver for Smart City Development: Application Fields and a Comprehensive Research Agenda

“…Beyond the scope of cryptocurrencies, numerous applications of blockchain technology exist which have far-reaching implications across a multitude of industries [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] and thus also impact smart-city development [56]. The dynamics of the development is further enhanced by the combination of blockchain together with Artificial Intelligence (AI) [57], the Internet of Things (IoT) [58], 5G and architectures that allow for the remote processing of data, frequently labeled as cloud, fog and edge computing [59,60].…”

A Proposed Conceptual Framework for Blockchain Technology in Halal Food Product Verification

“…As it progresses, many potentials are unlocked and the versatility of blockchain technology allows it to be implemented in many different industries (Axfoundation et al, 2017;Lin, Shen, Zhang, & Chai, 2018;Mathisen, 2018;Abderahman Rejeb, 2018;Verhoeven, Sinn, & Herden, 2018;Yiannas, 2018;Zubaidi & Abdullah, 2017). The food industry is one of the sectors that has been actively developing blockchain technology, especially in the traceability department.…”

A Proposed of Halal Food Supply Chain Traceability Model

“…Each driver can directly influence the supply chain and enable certain capabilities. It highlights the issue of properly managing food supply chains since there is a great deal of worry and a rise in food safety and food compliance with specific religious requirements (Rejeb, 2018). The Halal Food Supply Chain (HFSC) is a critical business as the industries are responsible for producing food that is consumed daily by billions of people across the globe.…”
