"Not only Basic Ingredients, There are Many Requirements for Food Products to Pass BPOM"

BPOM also tests food production from upstream to downstream to ensure consumption effects and sales.

Dream - Many people think that food made from safe ingredients for consumption will easily obtain the BPOM (Food and Drug Supervisory Agency) standardization label. However, that is not the only thing being monitored.

Food production also affects many aspects, ranging from consumers, industries, economies, and so on, so BPOM must pay attention to its production from upstream to downstream before granting circulation permits.

"BPOM is responsible for enforcing standards, evaluating food products before they are distributed, and post-market supervision. We are a consumer health protection agency, so food products will be tested for safety, quality, nutrition, packaging labels, and advertisements."

According to Anisyah, Director of Processed Food Standardization at the Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM RI), during the Good Chat with ABC Vol. 2 event at Bale Nusa, South Jakarta.

Regulations in Each Country Are Different

Testing on these five aspects affects safety, quality, image, and the food industry. In terms of safety, each country has different regulations, so domestic food products or those to be imported must pass the BPOM test before being consumed on a large scale.

Usually, food safety testing is conducted by monitoring its contents and ensuring that the product is free from metal contaminants, microbes, or substances that can have adverse effects on health if consumed excessively.

The following is the translation of the given text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: Quality control of food is carried out by testing products based on their characteristics. "For example, if it's meatballs being sold, there must be meat in it, not just a lot of fillers," said Anisyah. This testing reassures consumers that products labeled with BPOM have the appropriate type as stated on the label.

Nutrition

Testing food in terms of nutrition is almost the same as safety testing. BPOM-labeled food products have been tested to be safe for consumption in reasonable amounts by everyone and do not trigger potential non-communicable diseases.

"Label and Advertisement"

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The labels on food packaging are also tested, such as the list of ingredients and nutritional facts, so that consumers can obtain accurate information about the product. The same goes for food advertisements, which must not contain excessive claims and must be consistent with the product's condition."

BPOM also pays attention to sentence and word arrangement on food product labels and advertisements. For example, coffee with claims of genuine, pure, or natural is likely not allowed to have any additives that can alter the taste.

Regardless of the testing, food manufacturers must register their products through the BPOM website. Manufacturers can obtain information and guidance regarding BPOM label registration. On the same site, manufacturers can also renew their circulation permits after 5 years or modify product data. Food products that have obtained BPOM circulation permits will have a barcode on the packaging, as well as the words 'BPOM RI'. The barcode can be scanned to facilitate consumers in obtaining information and verifying the authenticity of the product.
