GLOBAL HALAL MOBILE CHECKER

The foodservice industry is deemed to be the final link in the entire food industry supply
chain. Thus, it has a crucial role to ensure that the food served is safe and suitable for
consumption. In Islam, looking for Halal and Toyyib food is mandatory for every Muslim.
The Muslims not only need to observe that the food consumed is Halal but also safe and free
from contamination. Today, as the business of Halal food experiences a rapid growth, the
duty of ensuring the food is Halal has been shifted to restaurant operators and this can be seen
through the introduction of Halal certification. However, many restaurant operators did not
comply with this Hal a! standard and led to Hal a! fraudulent practices. Reports on Halal
fraudulent decrease lack of confidence amongst the Muslims. This project is focused on
developing an Android-based mobile applications designed for Halal consumers, to reduce
the time taken to keep track their preferred items either it is Halal or not. By using this
application, users may check directly to the authority and update their entire preferred items
status using only one button. Besides, users also received alerts whenever necessary. Using
barcode scanner will saves time, and cost. Above all, this application may check and balance
the Halal enforcement.
