Important To Coconut Sugar Having a HACCP certificate, halal label, and BPOM number
People who produce food processing, such as producers of coconut sugar should take note of food security standards produced. One of the objectives of food development is food-assured that is characterized by the free community of food types that are harmful to health. This clearly shows efforts to protect people from food that do not meet health standards and requirements.
There are many food safety standards in Indonesia. Some of them are having a HACCP certificate, the presence of a halal label, and the existence of MD BPOM number. The purpose of this food safety standard is to keep food safe, hygienic, quality and not contrary to religion, belief, and culture of society. Food safety is also intended to prevent biological and chemical contamination that can harm human health. Well at the end of this August, CV Hugo innovation has gotten a HACCP certificate. Achievement of this certification is nothing but in order to improve service to customers.

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point where the company’s products are safe to consume and avoid the danger of contaminants both physically, chemically, and biology. Physically, such as dust, chemistry is mixed with water, other chemistry, biology e.g. fungi, other microorganisms.
HACCP or Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point actually apply in many areas of production. But it is very relevant if used in the production process of the food business. In its outline, HACCP is a series of monitoring and control processes. Whose goal is to eliminate potential hazards, especially health hazards. In the production process of a product, with control points set in such a way as follow the stages of production.
HACCP covers all processes: the procurement of materials, the processing process, the process of storage, processing (tools, officers, and processes), packaging, and presentation to the customer. HACCP is a standard approved by all the world’s parties. Is one of the control tools that help us, the consumers to avoid such harmful products.

MUI HALAL LABEL
Halal label all forms of food, processing, sourcing, and others are processed based on the Islamic religion. Indonesian coconut sugar is made from vegetables which means halal ingredients. But in order to maintain the trust of our products then we consciously get Halal label from MUI. With the halal label apparently can increase the selling value of coconut sugar in the community.

One of them is to follow the training in order to understand the halal certification requirements listed in HAS 23000. Then the applicant must also have implemented the Halal Assurance System (SJH). After that just prepare the required documents. Later there will be an audit process from LPPOM MUI to assess whether the fact in the company is in accordance with the document. The validity period for this halal label is 2 years.
MD BPOM
All food that will be traded in the Indonesian State must obtain a distributor permit. The distribution permit is the approval of the evaluation of the safety criteria, quality, and nutrition of processed food to perform the circulation in Indonesia. All distributor license is done by registering processed food products from BPOM.
