Abstract

This study determined the level of awareness of non-Muslim 4th year Hospitality management students on Halal foods. Descriptive type of research was used in order to acquire the data on how well non-Muslim 4th year Hospitality management students know Halal food. There were two hundred students from selected universities in Metro Manila who participated in the study. The study revealed that the students are aware but do not know much in the seven standards of Halal food in terms of sources: slaughtering, product processing, product storage, hygiene, sanitation and food safety, packing and labelling, and legal requirements. This study can serve as an instrument to enhance the hospitality management curriculum to increase the level of awareness of the students on halal foods as well as knowing its importance to the Philippine tourism industry.
