The demand for halal food products has been on the rise in recent years and is expected to continue growing in the near future. Consequently, the importance of factors such as Halal certification, Halal standards, and Halal traceability is becoming more prominent. Halal traceability is essential for ensuring that Halal food production is conducted correctly. It guarantees product quality throughout the supply chain and verifies product identity to protect consumers. Halal traceability also helps boost consumer confidence in food safety. Furthermore, the implementation of Halal traceability can reduce the costs associated with product recalls. Reducing product recalls, particularly in terms of Halal assurance, enhances customer trust in the integrity of the Halal sector. Techniques such as Blockchain and artificial intelligence have become widespread in supply chain tracking. As a result, maintaining the integrity of the Halal food supply chain has become much managable. The Halal food supply chain is complex and faces many challenges that can affect food safety and quality. From the sourcing of food ingredients to final production and distribution, there are numerous points where contamination can occur. Therefore, ensuring that Halal food meets the highest safety and quality standards is vital. Artificial intelligence in Halal food safety is important for increasing accuracy and efficiency, enhancing traceability and transparency, and providing real-time monitoring and analysis. Additionally, artificial intelligence can provide predictive capabilities to prevent contamination, facilitate the certification process, and offer valuable insights into the Halal food industry. This paper aims to explore how Halal food auditing works, the importance of food traceability systems, the need for traceability implementation in food supply chains, and the critical role it plays in ensuring safety and quality within food supply chains.

YAPAY ZEKA VE BLOKZİNCİR KULLANIMI İLE HELAL GIDA ÜRETİMİNDE İZLENEBİLİRLİĞİN SÜRDÜRÜLMESİ

Öz

Helal gıda ürünlerine olan talep son yıllarda artış göstermektedir ve yakın gelecekte de bunun artmaya devam etmesi beklenmektedir. Bu yüzden, Helal sertifikasyonu, Helal standartları ve Helal izlenebilirliği gibi faktörlerin önemi daha da belirginleşmektedir. Helal izlenebilirliği, Helal gıda üretiminin doğru bir şekilde yürütülmesini sağlamak için esastır. Tedarik zinciri boyunca ürün kalitesini garanti eder ve tüketicileri korumak için ürün kimliğini doğrular. Helal izlenebilirliği ayrıca tüketicilerin gıda güvenliğine olan güvenini artırmaya yardımcı olur. Dahası, Helal izlenebilirliğinin uygulanması ürün geri çağırmalarıyla ilişkili maliyetleri azaltabilir. Özellikle Helal güvencesi açısından ürün geri çağırmalarını azaltmak, müşterilerin Helal sektörünün bütünlüğüne olan güvenini artırır. Blockchain ve yapay zeka gibi teknikler, tedarik zinciri takibinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaya başlanmış ve bu sayede de Helal gıda tedarik zincirinin bütünlüğünün korunması çok daha kolay bir hale gelmiştir. Helal gıda tedarik zinciri, oldukça karmaşıktır ve gıda güvenliğini ve kalitesini etkileyebilecek birçok zorlukla karşı karşıyadır. Gıda bileşenlerinin tedarikinden nihai üretim ve dağıtıma kadar, gıda kontaminasyonlarında meydana gelebilecek birçok bulaş noktası vardır. Bu nedenle, Helal gıdanın en yüksek güvenlik ve kalite standartlarını karşılamasını sağlamak hayati önem taşır. Yapay zekanın Helal gıda güvenliğinde kullanımı, doğruluk ve verimliliği artırması, gıda izlenebilirliği ve şeffaflığını geliştirmesi ve gerçek zamanlı izleme ve analiz gibi birçok fayda sağlaması açısından önemlidir. Ek olarak yapay zeka, kontaminasyonu önlemek, sertifikasyon sürecini kolaylaştırmak ve Helal gıda endüstrisine değerli içgörüler sunmak için önemli yetenekler sağlayabilir. Bu makale, Helal gıda denetiminin nasıl çalıştığını, gıda izlenebilirlik sistemlerinin önemini, gıda tedarik zincirlerinde izlenebilirlik uygulamasına duyulan ihtiyacı ve gıda tedarik zincirlerinde güvenliği ve kaliteyi sağlamada oynadığı kritik rolü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
