Summary:Realizing the great demand of halal food in Malaysia and in the world in general, there are efforts by the government to make Malaysia as a regional hub for halal food products. However, there is a situation now when consumers not really understand what actual halal is.

Hence, this study is conducted in order to determine the Muslims consumer awareness on JAKIM halal logo. For this purpose, a correlation analysis was performed on 300 Muslim consumers surveyed through convenient sampling. From the analysis it was found that halal knowledge and halal food give positive relationship to Muslim consumers’ awareness on JAKIM halal logo.
