<![CDATA[The assurance of the halal status of a product is crucial for Muslim consumers, especially in Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. The government, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs, has implemented halal certification to ensure the validity of products. However, the implementation of the halal assurance system remains controversial, with some viewing it as an effort for government profit, particularly by the Ministry of Religious Affairs through the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI). Negative sentiments from opposing groups have the potential to escalate and influence other individuals or communities if not properly addressed.

Therefore, this study proposes a text mining-based method to develop a framework for understanding the characteristics and dynamics of public discourse on halal products on social media.]]>
