The practice of sertu has rapidly developed within the halal industry and is no longer limited to its implementation for religious purposes alone. In fact, the guidelines for sertu issued by JAKIM since 2013 have outlined comprehensive procedures for more complex applications of sertu in the industry. However, the reality shows that the level of knowledge about sertu practices among industry operators and the Muslim community is still less than satisfactory. This article aims to analyze the level of knowledge and understanding of sertu practices among the Muslim community in Malaysia and suggest improvements based on this level of knowledge and understanding. This study uses a quantitative approach through an online survey. The study employs a simple sampling method on students and industry practitioners and uses descriptive analysis to analyze the percentage of each item. The study results are summarized into three subcategories: knowledge of sertu practices, understanding of consumer practices related to sertu, and understanding of the need for improvement in sertu practices. Overall, the knowledge of sertu practices and consumer practices is still at a moderate level and needs to be improved by enhancing sertu practice education within the community, such as offering professional sertu certification and innovation in sertu equipment.
