摘要：The Tokyo Olympic Games and the Paralympic
Games will be held in 2020. Many Muslim people have stayed in
and travelled to Japan recently, and more are expected to do so
during the games. As such, food integrity is important in Japan
from an inbound perspective, especially for Muslim people
because they need safe and reliable food, which conforms to
their religion – that is, halal food. Halal means "permissible" in
the teachings of Islam, and halal food types are those obtained in
accordance with these teachings. Halal food is not widely
available for Muslim people in Japan at present. Therefore, the
focus of this paper is halal food integrity, which is investigated
by studying halal certification systems and through interviews
of 20 Japanese companies that handle halal food. The purpose of
this study is to suggest how we could ensure high integrity of
halal food in Japan. The companies interviewed are classified by
the arc of integration theory. The findings indicate that a
periphery-facing policy – meaning moderate integration from
suppliers to customers – has been adopted by 17 companies.
However, their management strategy depends on either halal
certification or on a Muslim friendly policy. The companies with
a Muslim friendly policy have adopted a strategy of information
integration, rather than delivery integration. The companies
with halal certification have adopted both directions of supply
chain integration.
