Key Insights

 

  • A Legacy of Compliance (Since 2004): Secret Recipe received full JAKIM certification in 2004. Coincidentally, the brand was founded in 1997, the same year JAKIM was established, aligning our growth continuously with Malaysia's national Halal standards.
  • Scientific Halal Assurance System (HAS): We do not rely on guesswork. We utilise a structured system to identify "Halal Critical Points" (HCP). This segregates materials into Halal, Haram, or Syubhah (doubtful), guaranteeing that sensitive ingredients like gelatin or enzymes are rigorously verified before entering the supply chain.
  • End-to-End Supply Chain Control: Compliance extends beyond the final cake. It covers the entire ecosystem, from raw ingredient procurement (local and foreign) and dedicated factory machinery to logistics. Even our refrigerators strictly prohibit "outside food" to eliminate cross-contamination risks.
  • Dedicated Internal Governance: We do not just wait for external inspectors. A specialised Internal Halal Committee works with our Quality Assurance team to conduct independent audits on factories and suppliers, enforcing strict standards across the entire network.

Uniquely Crafted Halal Formula, Our Own Secret Recipe

 

Being certified as halal has expanded our horizons to do things that are more interesting, differently, creatively and significant. The adherence to Halal Assurance System (HAS) which is the ultimate guideline to be certified as halal requires the identification and usage of halal critical ingredients and processes. 

 

Rather than blindly guess whether that said material is halal, haram and syubhah, this guideline systematically defines and segregates the process and material into halal critical points (HCP).

 

  1. Identification: We identify sensitive ingredients (e.g., gelatin, enzymes, flavourings).
  2. Verification: We trace the source of these ingredients to ensure they are animal-free or from Halal-slaughtered sources.
  3. Control: We implement checks to ensure no cross-contamination occurs during mixing or baking.

 

 

Food & Halal Restaurant’s Committee and Quality Assurance

 

At Secret Recipe, we have a dedicated and competent halal committee that is responsible for performing internal audits both internally and externally at our factories, premises, and our suppliers.

 

 

This is done in close cooperation with our quality assurance team and production team to ensure our common objectives of ensuring halal compliance are met. In addition to halal training, our annual halal meetings are also held to ensure all our dedicated staff is on the same page. One of the examples of halal compliance is the prohibition of outside food & beverages to be stored inside the refrigerators/freezers of Secret Recipe’s cafes/premises.
