Thefindings suggested that delay risk, natural hazard, and operational risk are the category of risks that would affect the halal food products safety and quality and halal status during the transportation process. Similarly, technology adoption risk and halal integrity risk are also important risk factors towards the process of risk categorization in halal food transportation and distribution process.
