Abstract

The provisions in the Health Law state that food products only be distribution to the consumer community after obtaining a distribution license from the relevant agency, namely BPOM (Food and Drug Supervisory Agency). In reality, unlicensed food products, especially those produced by home industries, are sold freely in the community. Some of these products are packaged but some are sold without packaging. This condition will certainly cause problems to the health of the community because these products do not necessarily meet the predetermined standards related to raw materials, mixtures in food products, etc. Consumers are harmed because they consume food products that have not been licensed. Consumers who are harmed by consuming these food products are of course difficult to get the legal protection they should be entitled to. This is because the food does not have a distribution license as a requirement before a food product is sold to the public. The problem arises where the consumer community should complain, how is the supervision of the relevant agencies and whether proof is needed from consumers who are harmed.
