# LPPOM MUI: A Legacy of Excellence in Halal Certification and Laboratory Services
Founded on January 6, 1989, LPPOM MUI was established in response to a government mandate requiring the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) to address the public outcry surrounding the inclusion of porcine fats in consumer products. Over the past three decades, the organization has evolved into the cornerstone of halal verification in Indonesia, ensuring that every product labeled as halal meets the highest standards of integrity and safety.
## Strengthening the Halal Ecosystem
The authority of LPPOM MUI is anchored in rigorous legal frameworks, including the Joint Decree between the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Health, as well as Ministry of Religious Affairs Decrees (KMA) 518 and 519 of 2001. These regulations empower the organization to conduct comprehensive laboratory audits, facilitate fatwa sessions, and issue official halal certifications. Furthermore, the organization maintains strategic partnerships with the National Standardization Agency (BSN) and the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM), making MUI certification a mandatory requirement for halal labeling on products distributed across Indonesia.
