BPOM Discovers 86 Thousand Problematic Food Products Worth Rp1.6 Billion

Processed food products are the main target for consumption during Christmas and New Year because they are convenient to prepare, affordable in price, and have a delicious taste that everyone loves.

The increasing interest in processed food products during the Christmas and New Year holidays has become the target of BPOM (Food and Drug Monitoring Agency) to carry out intensified dissemination of supervision ahead of Christmas 2023 and New Year 2024. This has been carried out a few days ago to provide peace of mind for the public in purchasing processed food.

The translation of "Hasil Temuan" to English is "Findings".

According to the BPOM search results, there are 86,034 processed food products in several regions of Indonesia that do not meet the regulations, thus their consumption safety is not guaranteed.

The translation of "Lingkup Penjualan Pangan Olahan yang Diawasi" to English is "Scope of Supervised Processed Food Sales".

"In the surveillance program, BPOM traced processed food products sold in 2,438 facilities. Starting from modern and traditional retail, distributor warehouses, importer warehouses, to e-commerce warehouses."

What is Meant by 'Not Complying with the Provisions'?

"Monitoring at 5 shows that tens of thousands of products do not meet the regulations, namely lacking distribution permits, expired, and damaged food with a total finding value of more than Rp1.6 billion."

<b>Apa yang Dimaksud 'Tidak Memenuhi Ketentuan'?</b>

"It means that many people may consume processed food without product safety guarantees, the food quality is poor, or even expired. Certainly, this can threaten the health conditions of many people."

"Area that Contains Imported Food Products Without Distribution Permits, Expired, and Damaged"

"Imported food products without distribution permits are frequently found in Jakarta, Tarakan (North Kalimantan), Batam City (Riau Islands), Pekanbaru City (Riau), and Sanggau Regency (West Kalimantan)."

"Meanwhile, expired food is commonly found in Belu Regency (NTT), Ambon City (Maluku), East Sumba Regency (NTT), Sofifi City (North Maluku), and Morotai Island Regency (Southeast Sulawesi). The most findings of damaged food are in Belu Regency (NTT), Manokwari Regency (West Papua), Pangkal Pinang City (Bangka Belitung), Ambon City (Maluku), and Kendari City (Southeast Sulawesi)."

"In addition, BPOM intensifies food surveillance with cyber patrols. Through this activity, BPOM found 17,042 links with an economic value of Rp30 billion."

The translation of "Produk Temuannya" to English is "His/Her Findings Product".

"Some products found by BPOM come from well-known brands, are often consumed regularly by many people, and are frequently imported from abroad."

"If you want to be safer, it's best for Dream friends to consume processed food products labeled with BPOM. You can find the BPOM distribution license number on the food packaging label and verify the authenticity of the number through the site cekbpom.pom.go.id."
