Abstract

In the context of Malaysia, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the industries that play
an important role in the production of food products and consumables. SMEs are a large
industry because involving large networks starting from the agricultural sector that supplies
raw materials to the manufacturing sector for the purpose of producing products before
being marketed to consumers. In other words, SMEs dominate the food industry in Malaysia.
The question is, there is a tendency among SMEs to tolerate safety measures in the process
of food preparation. The competitive environment between SMEs had an impact on the
production of unsafe products. This, in turn, resulted in the presence of impurities, usage of
prohibited chemicals or preservatives, the sale of expired items, reduction in the frequency
of cleaning of food preparation premises and so on. As for implication, SMEs are the main
medium for food safety issues. The findings show that there are eleven food safety issues
which are the main problems among SMEs in Malaysia, namely the issue of physical
contamination, chemical contamination issue, biological contamination issue, food workers
issue, air pollution issue, water pollution issue, environmental pollution issue, animal
pollution issue, public health issue, industrial processing issue and biotech issue in food. Of
these, there are twenty-nine hadiths which focus on discussions on the food safety issues
involved. In this study, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point or HACCP is a standard that
used as the framework of early measurement instrument on food safety issues. Finally, the
study has developed hadith analysis tool in the form of a decision tree based on the HACCP
framework as a current food safety procedure as an alternative step in addressing food
safety issues in SMEs in Malaysia
