These vulnerabilities make halal supply chains complex&nbsp;to design, manage, and optimise. Transparency of halal supply chains is needed&nbsp;in order to ensure trust and authenticity of a halal brand. The principle of a shared&nbsp;database that is safe, open and verifiable without a central operator is an attractive&nbsp;proposition to embed trust and authenticity for halal food, cosmetics, home care,&nbsp;and pharmaceuticals.</p> ER -
