Through a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The findings show that halal certification has a significant impact on customer growth and strengthening Elshevaa's brand image. This confirms the crucial role of halal certification in strengthening consumer trust and increasing competitiveness in the sharia-based culinary industry.
