A practical, step-by-step playbook to verify BPJPH halal coffee in 2026 using SiHalal search, packaging clues, and supplier documents. What to do if you only see an old MUI logo, how to read “non-active” status, and a due diligence checklist buyers actually use.
If you buy Indonesian coffee for retail, foodservice or private label, you’ve probably run into a familiar problem: suppliers claim “halal certified” but you can’t verify it quickly. In our experience, the fastest way to verify BPJPH halal coffee in 2026 is a simple three‑part check. Search the government’s SiHalal database. Validate the Halal Indonesia logo and QR on-pack. Match the certificate PDF details to what you’re actually buying. Do this right and you’ll avoid last‑minute compliance headaches at customs or retail QA.
Here’s the thing. Since Indonesia’s halal oversight shifted to BPJPH, many teams still look for the old MUI logo and miss the newer cues. Let’s walk through a clean, bookmark‑worthy process you can use every time.
The fast answer: how to check if an Indonesian coffee is BPJPH halal‑certified
- Use SiHalal for a BPJPH halal certificate check. Search by brand, company (pelaku usaha), or certificate number.
- On the product pack, look for the Halal Indonesia logo and a QR code. Scan the QR. It should resolve to the same product/company entry you found in SiHalal.
- Download the certificate PDF if available. Confirm product scope, facility address, and expiry date match your purchase order.
If any piece doesn’t match, treat the claim as unverified until the supplier fixes it.
Step‑by‑step: verify BPJPH halal coffee with SiHalal, packaging, and documents
1) Search SiHalal like a pro
- Go to the official SiHalal portal and use the search field. Try the brand name first. If nothing shows, try the company’s legal name shown on the pack or invoice. Also try the BPJPH registration number if the supplier shared it.
- In results, open the product card. Confirm status (active), validity dates, and the list of covered SKUs or product categories. For coffee, you’ll typically see entries like roasted coffee (kopi sangrai), ground coffee, instant coffee, coffee beverage, and sometimes green coffee when it’s claimed.
- Pro tip: If you only see the facility certified but no product scope, ask the supplier for the Lampiran (attachment) listing covered products. We’ve found that’s where granularity hides.

2) Read the packaging correctly
Where do you find the BPJPH halal certificate number or QR on coffee packaging?
- Look near the ingredients or nutrition panel. Many brands place the Halal Indonesia logo and QR in that zone.
- The QR should open the product or company page in SiHalal. If the QR goes to a general brand site without BPJPH details, ask for the certificate PDF.
- The “Halal Indonesia” logo is the current official mark. The older MUI crescent logo appears on legacy packs. In 2026, a pack with only the MUI logo can still be valid if the underlying certificate hasn’t expired. Always verify the expiry date.
3) Match documents to what you’re buying
Ask the supplier for:
- The BPJPH certificate PDF. Confirm company legal name, facility address, product scope, and expiry date.
- The product attachment (Lampiran) listing SKUs or categories. Ensure your exact product type and brand are included.
- For flavored coffee and ready‑to‑drink items, ingredient specs and declarations for flavor solvents and processing aids.
If anything is off by even one character in the company name or address, don’t ignore it. Mismatches are the number one reason retail QA flags a shipment.
MUI vs BPJPH in 2026: what’s actually valid?
Short version. BPJPH issues halal certificates. MUI issues the halal ruling (fatwa) that underpins the certificate. If you see an old MUI logo on pack in 2026, it can be acceptable if the certificate linked to that logo is still within its validity. But renewals and new certificates should be BPJPH. If a supplier shows only an MUI fatwa document with no BPJPH certificate number, that’s not sufficient for a halal claim.
Interpreting SiHalal statuses for coffee
- Active. The certificate is valid. You can proceed if product scope matches your SKU.
- Non‑active. The certificate exists but is suspended or inactive. Don’t ship under a halal claim. Ask for the reason and timeline to reactivate.
- Expired. The certificate lapsed. No halal claim allowed until renewal is issued. Watch for new certificate numbers after renewal.
- In process/assessment. It’s not certified yet. Plan lead time accordingly. We typically see renewals completing in 2–6 weeks if documentation is clean.
If SiHalal shows non‑active or expired for a coffee product you intend to sell as halal, pause the purchase order. Have the supplier send proof of renewal in progress and a committed timeline before you restart.
How to verify a small roaster or private label coffee
I’ve seen this trip up more buyers than anything else. You search the brand in SiHalal and nothing shows. A few likely reasons:
- Private label. The BPJPH certificate may be under the co‑packer’s legal entity, not the retail brand. Search the manufacturer’s name on the back label.
- Scope mismatch. The facility is certified, but your specific SKU or processing method isn’t included in the Lampiran. Ask to add it. That update usually takes days, not months.
- Ingredient gap. The roaster uses certified green beans, but their facility isn’t certified. Ingredient certificates alone don’t cover the finished roasted product.
Bottom line. For private label, confirm that the finished product and final packing facility are included in the certificate scope.
Do green coffee beans need BPJPH halal certification?
Green beans are agriculturally simple and inherently halal by nature. In Indonesia, whether you need BPJPH certification depends on how you sell and where. For export buyers, certification isn’t always required for raw, unflavored green beans. But many of our specialty import partners ask for it to streamline market access in Muslim‑majority countries.
If you’re sourcing green Indonesian lots like Arabica Bali Kintamani Grade 1 Green Coffee Beans or Blue Batak Green Coffee Beans, the key is to confirm there’s no cross‑contact with non‑halal materials in post‑harvest handling, storage, or transport. When you move to roasted or flavored formats, certification becomes practically essential.
Special case: flavored coffee and “wine” or extended fermentations
Two practical tips we share with buyers:
- Flavored coffee. Verify that flavorings and solvents comply with halal requirements, including the source of ethanol if used as a processing aid, and any residual limits in the finished product. Your supplier should have declarations from the flavor house and include the flavored SKUs in the BPJPH certificate scope.
- “Wine process” or extended fermentation coffees. Despite the name, these are coffee fermentation styles. They don’t add wine. Ethanol can form naturally during fermentation, but in green coffee it’s processed, dried and roasted off. We document processing and storage controls for SKUs like our Bali, Java, Gayo & Mandheling - Wine Green Arabica Coffee Beans so buyers can assess them in line with their compliance stance.
Where exactly is the halal number or QR on pack, and how do I validate it?
- Look for the Halal Indonesia logo and a nearby QR. Scan it with any phone. It should open a page showing the product or company entry, certificate number, and validity dates.
- If the pack shows a number but no QR, search that number in SiHalal. Confirm it resolves to the same company and product scope.
- Always match the certificate holder’s legal name and address to the one printed on pack. Minor spelling differences can signal a different entity.
What if a supplier only shows an MUI fatwa or old MUI certificate?
Treat a fatwa alone as incomplete. Ask for the current BPJPH certificate, or proof that renewal is in process with a target completion date. If the old MUI certificate is still within validity, verify it against SiHalal or the supplier’s BPJPH account record and set a reminder for the renewal window so your retail listings don’t go stale.
Downloading the certificate PDF and what to check
When the SiHalal page provides a download button, grab the PDF and confirm:
- Certificate number and validity dates.
- Company legal name and facility address.
- Product scope or Lampiran listing your exact format and brand.
- For roasted products like our Roasted Arabica Aceh Gayo (Medium / Medium-Dark Roast) or blends such as Roasted Espresso Coffee Blend, the specific SKUs included.

Quick answers to common buyer questions
How do I check if an Indonesian coffee brand is BPJPH halal‑certified?
Search SiHalal by brand and company name. Validate the on‑pack Halal Indonesia logo and QR. Match the PDF certificate to your SKU and facility.
Is a coffee product with the old MUI logo still valid in 2026?
Yes, if the certificate is still within its validity. For new or renewed certificates, expect BPJPH. Always confirm dates in SiHalal.
Where can I find the BPJPH halal certificate number or QR on coffee packaging?
Near the ingredients or nutrition area next to the Halal Indonesia logo. Scan the QR to confirm.
What if a supplier shows an MUI fatwa but no BPJPH certificate?
That’s not sufficient for a halal claim. Request the BPJPH certificate and product attachment.
How do I verify a small roaster or private label coffee in SiHalal?
Search by the manufacturer’s legal name shown on the back label. Confirm the Lampiran lists your specific SKUs.
What does “non‑active” or “expired” mean on SiHalal for a coffee product?
It’s not valid for a halal claim. Pause purchase until reactivation or renewal is complete.
Do green coffee beans need BPJPH halal certification in Indonesia?
Often not required for raw, unflavored export. But many buyers still request it for market access. Verify absence of non‑halal cross‑contact in handling.
