With the increase in demand for halal food, research in halal food management is also growing. Over the last decade researchers have studied the management of halal food from various perspectives and in relation to different industries and food categories. This research conducts a systematic analyze of halal food management literature published in peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings between 2003 and 2013. It identifies 90 journal articles and 44 conference papers which are then considered for further analysis. Our analysis classifies halal food published studies into eight distinct areas of research such as concept of halal, halal certification, halal product attributes, consumer awareness of halal, halal marketing, information technology adoption in halal, halal integrity and halal food supply chain management. A review of halal food supply chain research suggests that most of the studies focused either on halal logistics or supply chain performance and recommends seven areas for future research in halal food supply chain management.
