Abstract

Cultured meat has become a trending nowadays. The future of 3D food products is gaining momentum in the coming years. the industry is creating a new paradox where technology is rapidly developing to cope with such big changes. However, several key areas are lacking in particular in Halal forensics where the issues of 3DP meat are are still not discussed thoroughly. This study is emphasizing on the review of halal forensics issues in three-dimensional (3D) printing technology for halal cultured meat. The study uses content analysis methods on published scientific papers and authoritative sources in related fields. The issues presented should be addressed so that the latest technology in the field of nutrition can be utilized to the fullest, especially for the sake of Muslim consumers. Authorities in the fatwas and Islamic jurisprudence should infer specific fatwas in the topic of cultured meat. More research has to be conducted to determine the long-term and short-term effects of this cultured meat on the human body. Matter such as a new analytical method should be proposed and developed to ensure the Halal status of the 3DP meat. Such a method will reduce the vulnerability of Halal food against Halal food fraud. Furthermore, the studies done will be used as a regulatory framework and gold standard for 3DP Halal food products in particular ingredient that contains meat.
