“…Although participants have various responses toward this statement, these do not indicate that they have poor understanding or misconception toward the concept of halal (Nawai et al , 2007). In fact halal has now become a universal concept as demonstrated in other similar studies (Ambali and Bakar, 2014; Henderson, 2015; Mohd Shariff and Abd Lah, 2014).…”

“…We select Malaysia as our Muslim country because halal food certification started in Malaysia as early as 1974, under the supervision of the Research Centre of the Islamic Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Office and the Religious Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia) (Shariff and Lah, 2014). Malaysian halal standard is one of the strictest among many similar certifications in other countries.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine whether citizens of non-Muslim countries accept products with a “halal” logo. In the era of globalization, one of the most crucial issues for Muslim travelers is reliable halal foods when visiting non-Muslim countries. If people in non-Muslim countries accept imported products containing halal certification logos, and such products are readily available in shops, this issue could be substantially improved. Design/methodology/approach Malaysia and Japan were selected as Muslim and non-Muslim countries, respectively, to conduct a choice experiment (CE) for 656 non-Muslim subjects, and estimated willingness to pay (WTP) for mineral water with and without the halal logo. A random parameter logit model was used for estimation. Findings The difference between the WTP for mineral water with and without the halal logo was ¥5; however, the associated coefficient is not statistically significant. This implies that the halal logo has no impact on non-Muslim subjects’ purchasing behavior. From this, we can infer that the halal products with certification logo would be accepted in Japanese shops, which may foster foreign Muslim visits. Research limitations/implications As the results are based on a couple of countries (Malaysia and Japan) and only one product (mineral water), further investigation using other products in different countries would be necessary. However, as suggested in the main text, the results enjoy a degree of generalizability. Originality/value The results of this study support the possibility of circulating halal products in non-Muslim countries and thus promoting Muslim travel abroad. No such study has examined this issue using CE.

“…After obtaining the certification, companies could use Halal labels on their packages, which is necessary for 49 consumers to make informed decisions (Shariff & Abd Lah, 2014). Muslims are supposed to make an effort to 50 obtain Halal food of good quality and refrain from things that are doubtful to be sure to avoid consumption of 51 haram (prohibited and unlawful) substances (Riaz & Chaundry, 2004).…”
