Halal food supply chain is unique as it is based on Islamic teachings and hence different from other kinds of supplier management. However, research in this specific field has been scarce, particularly empirical research. Conversely, many empirical researches on conventional supply chain management have focused mainly on supply risks. Therefore, it is important to explore supplier management in halal food supply chains by applying an existing framework of supplier management from other fields. With this in mind, as a preliminary case study, this paper explores supplier management of a small and medium-sized enterprise producing halal foods in Malaysia. The main aim is to identify risk consequences, risk drivers, supply risk sources, and risk mitigating strategies for supplier management in halal food supply chains. Future research needs to include and investigate more cases in which factors such as the size of companies, the capacity and role of halal certification bodies, and the location of operation are operationalized in order to develop the framework discussed in this study
