Halal food and consumer behavior are hot issues in scholarly publications. However, research exploring the factors determining consumer decisions through exploratory studies is still rare. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors determining Indonesian Muslims' purchasing of halal food. We focused on halal food for Muslim consumers and 140 questionnaires were distributed. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used for data analysis. The findings showed that three main factors determine Muslim purchase decisions for halal food: halal awareness, religiosity, and the safety quality of halal food. A novel model of halal food consumer behavior that implies the application of Halalan-tayyibah in Islamic teachings, namely the integration of halalness with product safety and quality. The study also implies that business players must pay attention to halal aspects in all business processes, from manufacturing to marketing, for the halal food value chain to be fully fulfilled.
