The study was conducted to investigate the halal meat supply chain framework implemented at a retail business in Yogyakarta, Indonesia that sells fresh meat, seafood, groceries and other household products. The study result shows that there is a probability of outside contamination in the supply chain that can change the halal meat status to become non-halal if it is not properly handled.
