DENVER — The Indonesian Halal Authority (BPJPH) moved to reaccredit the only US halal certifying company in the United States approved for Indonesia earlier this month. The BPJPH originally questioned whether slaughter practices in the United States met Indonesia’s halal standards, but those concerns were addressed. And from their finding from the plant audit, which is not a halal certified plant, but unfortunately they canceled the accreditation to the halal certifying body. There is only one halal certifying body who issued the halal certificate for export to Indonesia. So that resulted in the de facto suspension of US beef since then.”Before the suspension and consequent stoppage of US exports, the United States exported $93 million in beef in 2024.
