Abstract

During a pandemic Covid-19, the use of traditional medicines is increasing, therefore the role of packaging labels is very important to provide information about these products. The label on the packaging of traditional medicinal products must contain objective, complete and clear information and not mislead the public. This study aims to see the level of understanding of small and medium enterprises of traditional medicine against packaging labelling regulations issued by the government. This study uses a qualitative method by observing one of the small traditional medicine manufacturers. As many as 30 samples of traditional medicines submitted to BPOM were taken for observation and analysis based on government regulations related to traditional medicine packaging labels. The results of this method can be concluded that UKOT producers still do not understand well about labelling of traditional medicine packaging because based on the data table graph shows that 30 of their product designs are still not in accordance with the provisions of labelling/marking traditional medicine and from pie chart data, information can be obtained. False or misleading information that most often occurs is information on Efficacy Claims, Product Composition, and Warnings/Cautions by 13%. The level of knowledge of traditional medicine SMEs about packaging labelling is relatively low so it is necessary to follow up to increase their knowledge regarding packaging labelling.
