Followed by the core of the activity, namely the delivery of resource person CV information by each moderator and presentation of material by each resource person, question and answer session, certificate awarding and closing session in the form of photo documentation.
The results of this activity show that this webinar has provided participants with insights into the procedures for obtaining halal certification and its benefits for the culinary business. They also learned about the implementation of halal certification in the culinary industry so that in the future they are expected to gain an understanding that can improve the quality and consumer confidence in the halal food products produced. Participants also responded well to filling out questionnaires regarding the importance of consuming halal food and its benefits for the body. Based on the results of the activity evaluation questionnaire, it can be seen that this socialization activity makes a positive contribution in the form of the quality of the speakers, committee performance, event structure, facilities, and technology used. Therefore, to optimize the benefits that have been obtained, the committee plans to organize similar activities or support activities related to halal certification in the culinary business in the future.
