The halal food industry across the world is experiencing a period of extraordinary growth and development. However, violation of the principle of halal for profit is a major concern as Muslims are only allowed to consume halal food. Recent episodes of adulteration and illegal halal labeling of food products indicated that food fraud is reaching global scales. Therefore, ensuring the authenticity of halal food is a crucial step that all must seriously implement. Compared to protein- and lipid-based techniques, DNA-based authentication is reported to be accurate, sensitive, and reliable.
