KEHALALAN MAKANAN DARI HASIL PERKEMBANGAN TEKNOLOGI REKAYASA GENETIKA

Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim majority population in the world. No doubt food products circulating in Indonesia must be halal certified. It is a very mandatory thing for product manufacturers so that their products can be traded. Halal in Islam can be viewed from two sides, namely halal in terms of substance and how to obtain it.
