Implementation of HACCP and Halal Assurance System in Chicken Slaughterhouses in West Kalimantan

Abstract

The aim of this study was to observe the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) and halal assurance system (HAS) implementation in chicken slaughterhouses in West Kalimantan. This explorative study was using primary and secondary data by field survey during October to December 2016 in modern PT. X and semi-modern PT. Y chicken slaughterhouses. The results showed : (1) there were 6 critical control points (CCP) and 3 halal critical control points (HCCP) in PT. Y; (2) there were 3 CCP and 2 HCCP in PT Y.; (3) HACCP and HAS in chicken slaughterhouses could be implemented in West Kalimantan. The challenges to optimize HACCP and HAS in chicken slaughterhouses in that area are the high production cost and poultry product trading in wet market. Public awareness related to animal originated food chain preparation, halal products and internal company commitment are essential to implementation of HACCP and HAS practice.
