Kota Kinabalu: Micro entrepreneurs selling food and beverages in Sabah can now obtain halal certification through the issuance of Syariah Compliant Certificates (SPPS), said Minister of Special Tasks and Coordination Datuk Dr Arifin Mohd Arif.
He said the ministry took up such approach to help micro industries to get the SPPS which was developed by Muis Halal Hub together with friends from Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and SIRIM.
He said issuance of SPPS is a recognition in the entrepreneurs’ products as halal and safe (toyyiban) to eat and use as well as complying with the principles of food and drink in Islam.
