Kitchenware comes into direct contact with our daily food, making it a health and safety issue. Therefore, choosing safe and reliable kitchenware is crucial. Among various materials, wooden kitchenware has attracted considerable attention due to its natural properties. As a leading local wooden kitchenware manufacturer, homLiv has achieved Halal certification in Indonesia, demonstrating its rigorous health and safety controls. It is the first local wooden cookware manufacturer in Indonesia to receive this certification.

“Whether consciously or unconsciously, the cookware itself is the one that comes into contact with food the most. So we thought getting halal certification would be very helpful in demonstrating our seriousness,” Yudiana Lyn, owner and operator of homLiv, told Kompas.com.

The first company to obtain Halal certification from Indonesia, strengthening its differentiated positioning

Yudiana noted that there are numerous wooden kitchenware options on the market. To differentiate itself from competitors, homLiv became the first wooden kitchenware manufacturer in Indonesia to receive Halal certification. "While the food itself may already be Halal, the kitchenware that comes into contact with food should also be Halal certified. Paying attention to these details truly strengthens our positioning," she said.

She further stated that homLiv's Halal certification is not only used for marketing purposes, but also serves as a foundation for building consumer trust. The brand not only pursues affordable pricing but also prioritizes safe use.

Certification standards cover the entire process to prevent contact with non-Halal substances

Regarding the criteria for whether a piece of kitchenware can be Halal certified, Yudiana explained that the key lies in the control of raw materials and production process. "From the selection of wood, the shaping of wood, to the final finishing stage, we must ensure that no non-compliant materials are used.Halal"The substance here refers to non-HalalSubstances, usually including animal-derived ingredients (such as certain waxes/oils, fatty acid salts), alcohol-containing solvents, adhesives or surface treatment additives of unknown origin, etc. Only by strictly controlling the entire process of raw materials and processes can the audit requirements of Halal certification be met.

Product features and certification: No chemical coating, with test report attached

homLiv starts with transparency regarding materials and craftsmanship: its wooden kitchenware is 100% chemical-free. The brand also provides laboratory testing results confirming the absence of wood preservatives. These product characteristics align with Indonesian Halal certification requirements, forming a closed loop of value for the brand in terms of health, safety, and Halal compliance.
