Abstract
Seafood products are a new trend in modern society, where people are starting to realize the great benefits of seafood and seafood products in the form of food, cosmetics and health products from seafood, even though seafood tends to be cheaper in developing countries. such as Indonesia, but for export quality the price tends to increase drastically and is more expensive if it is traded in developed countries.
The problem that occurs is about the safety of healthy food products according to applicable legal standards, apart from having to be safe and healthy, the trend of consuming halal food is also the main thing in Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, apart from being physically halal, it also has to be halal from food additives and non-sterile ingredients that are included in food due to weak health supervision in seafood processing factories, for example worms in seafood fish products, because this is closely related to the quality and safety of marine products itself.The addition of hazardous substances such as formalin and hydrogen peroxide to preservatives for food products from marine products, of course, apart from not meeting food safety and health standards, includes animals or other non-sterile living substances that also infect packaged seafood products, nor do they meet the halal standard of a seafood product, because one of the halal requirements is Tayyib or the food must be good in terms of its essence.
