摘要：As Muslims, the search for halal products is an obligation. Due to this, the demand for halal products has increased. The halal industry has grown to become a sizable market and a profitable business. However, despite the growth of the halal industry, abuses relating to halal products in terms of the logo and the selling non-halal products as ‘halal’ haunt consumers. This phenomenon shows that consumers have become victims of irresponsible producers who manipulate non-halal products as ‘halal’. Due to the application of the doctrine of the privity contract under the Malaysian contract law, consumers are normally barred from bringing a claim against a producer. However, Part X of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 has introduced a new contractual liability for the producer whereby consumers are given the right to make a claim against the producer. This study adopts a content analysis method which examines the provisions under Part X of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. The purpose of this paper is to see if Part X of the Consumer Protection Act of 1990 provides adequate consumer protection on the issue of halal products. The findings of this paper indicate that there are several loopholes in Part X of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 that must be addressed to provide better consumer protection on the issue of halal products.
