description Halal food and beverage has risen to prominence as a global leader in Islamic lifestyle spending. The increasing global demand for halal food highlights the importance of halal certification. Other fundamental issues related to halal food, such as hygienic practise, halal certificate manipulation, and expiration, have contributed to consumer concern with reports of misconduct and unethical behaviour. This includes all types of eateries such as restaurants, kiosks, cafeterias, food courts, etc. As a result, the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour was used in this study to understand the relationship between the consumer's intention for halal food at food courts.
