Food Regulations & Standards

Introduction
The legal requirements for food safety and food
quality have been established by many national
governments, with the objective of protecting
consumers and ensuring that foods are fit for
human consumption.
These requirements are contained in food laws
and regulations, the scope of which varies from
one country to another.

Food Laws & Regulations


Food laws are statements of government policies
that cover both the general and specific aspects of
adulteration and misbranding of foods, while the
food regulations deal with the enforcement of
government policies that are embodied in the food
laws.
These food laws and regulations are intended to
ensure that foods do not cause harm, illness, or
injury; are not adulterated or misbranded; and are
wholesome and fit for human consumption.

Food Laws & Regulations


Food laws and regulations apply to all foods
produced domestically, as well as all foods imported
into a country; foods cannot be imported if they do
not conform to the food laws and regulations of the
importing country.
Food laws protect consumers from illnesses and
injury by prohibiting the presence of any poisonous
or harmful substance in foods that are intended for
human consumption.
In addition, food laws protect consumers from fraud
and deception by prohibiting false or misleading
information relating to foods

Enforcement of food laws and regulations

The responsibility for enforcing food laws and


regulations is assigned to government regulatory
agencies. These enforcement activities fall into two
categories.
1. Inspection and audit of establishments that process,
handle, and store food to ensure that the required
sanitary and controlled conditions are followed;
audits are used by some regulatory agencies that
enforce HACCP-based regulations.
2. Inspection and analysis of foods for harmful
substances to ensure that there is conformance to
established limits and tolerances.

Enforcement of food laws and regulations


The food safety control system in Indonesia requires
elements of pre-market and post-market control.
Pre-market control is conducted by evaluating the food
safety of products to ensure the compliance with safety
and quality requirements. If a product is found to meet to
necessary requirements, the product is provided with
registration approval number and it become eligible for
the retail market.
Post-market control is conducted for food products which
have been distributed in the market The National
Agency for Drug and Food Control (BPOM)

Food Standards
Food standards also establish requirements for
the safety and quality of foods; however, unless
a food standard is part of food regulations, it is
not a legal requirement.
Indonesia : Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI)

Standar Nasional Indonesia


Satu-satunya standar yang berlaku secara nasional
di Indonesia.
SNI dirumuskan oleh Panitia Teknis dan ditetapkan
oleh Badan Standarisasi Nasional.
Agar SNI dpat diterima oleh para stakeholder, maka
SNI menganut asas: keterbukaan, transparansi,
konsensus dan tidak memihak, efektif dan relevan,
koheren, dan berdimensi pembangunan.

Food Standards
The Codex Standards are the best examples of food
standards. The CAC has the mandate to implement the
joint FAO/WHO Foods Standards Program.
This has resulted in the Codex Alimentarius, a collection
of standards for food quality, food suitability, and food
safety.
These food standards have been adopted by countries
worldwide and are intended primarily to protect
consumers and to facilitate international food trade.
They include codes of practice such as The Codex
General Principles Of Food Hygiene, standards for
maximum residual levels (MRL) for pesticides and for
veterinary drugs in foods, and standards for
specifications for food additives.
