ABSTRACT
A halal supply chain consists of a supply network where special attention is paid to products to ensure halal integrity. Given the growing demand for halal products from both Muslims and non-Muslims worldwide, it is important to ensure product quality through an integrated supply chain. Integrity means honesty and constant monitoring and strong ethical principles and values. Maintaining the integrity of the halal supply chain is important, all aspects of halal food integrity must be carefully protected and all actors in the supply chain must take all necessary measures to avoid cross-contamination causing product damage. convert to non-halal. In addition, food safety is part of the halal integrity and traceability process, which produces traceable information from the source of the product to the store. In this way, the unit can track and trace food, such as food ingredients and expiration date, date of preparation, packaging during production, and record during the process, including when, where and how. To achieve better traceability, it is necessary to move and digitize the traditional supply chain, which can be done with blockchain technology in halal supply chain management (SCM). Three smart contract features, including traceability, decentralization and anonymity, are added to the model as moderators to investigate their impact on the integrity of the halal supply chain.
