A Blockchain Framework for Halal Poultry Traceability and Automated Recall
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The halal poultry industry is a part of the world's Islamic economy, which is to adhere to the Shariah rules and regulations, and ensure consumer confidence and transparency. However, the current systems can't achieve integrity because of a lack of continuous recording, centralization, and non-real-time surveillance, which raises the risk of mislabeling and lacks responsiveness of the food safety system. To address these challenges, this article proposes a halal poultry traceability system along with the Internet of Things (IoT) for a consortium blockchain. The system aims to track all aspects of the supply chain from veterinary suppliers and hatcheries, through slaughtering, distribution, and retail. IoT sensors continuously monitor the environment (such as humidity and temperature) for regularity compliance. A permissioned blockchain using the Hyperledger Fabric securely logs events through policy based smart contracts. For scalability, the IoT sensor and certifications data are stored outside the blockchain system (MinIO and Timescale), and cryptographic hashes are written to the blockchain for certification. The smart contracts automatically validate slaughtering operations and environmental limits, and also alarm-based real-time notifications or recalls for the batch. The QR code access can be used for origin and halal certification by consumers and regulators. It verifies the use of halal feed, permits slaughtering, transport limitations, and greenhouse environmentally agreeable threshold levels. Overall, this research suggests a technically sound and scalable solution for the end-to-end traceability of halal poultry and the opportunity to govern the food supply chain system via blockchain.
