BPOM Head Taruna Ikrar said here on Saturday that oversight is an\nimportant part of supporting food security, improving public health, and\nbuilding trust in products circulating in Indonesia. The NIE comprise\n105,354 domestic products and 39,509 imported products.<\/p>\n
\u201cBPOM also issued BPOM Regulation Number 10 of 2026 on Nutrition\nValue Information on Processed Food Labels,\u201d Ikrar said.<\/p>\n
The regulation sets out the inclusion of nutrition value information\nthrough Nutri-Level, he added, as one effort to help the public get\ninformation that is easier to understand when choosing food.<\/p>\n
Ikrar explained over the two years of President Prabowo Subianto and\nVice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka\u2019s administration, the authority\nplayed a strategic role in ensuring drugs and food in circulation meet\nsafety, efficacy or benefit, and quality requirements.<\/p>\n
BPOM\u2019s support for the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program is also\nrealized through food safety oversight, assistance for service\nfacilities, and education for the parties involved.<\/p>\n

In the first half of 2026, the authority inspected 198 Nutrition\nFulfillment Service Units (SPPG) and gave assistance to 76 SPPG to\nsupport the application of good food processing practices and food\nsafety systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cBPOM is committed to support the government priority programs\nthrough risk-based oversight of drugs and food, stronger cross-sector\ncollaboration, and assistance for businesses and program organizers,\u201d\nIkrar said.<\/p>\n
In the MBG program, he said, nutrition fulfillment must go hand in\nhand with food safety assurance. That way, the government program can be\ncarried out optimally and give real benefits to the public.<\/p>\n
In his directive, President Prabowo Subianto praised the hard work\nand dedication of the Red and White Cabinet during the first two years\nof the administration. The President also highlighted Indonesia\u2019s\nsuccess in maintaining food availability amid global uncertainty.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmid a world we see full of challenges, we are still grateful, still\ngrateful that we are relatively in good condition. Our food is under\ncontrol, our main achievements include that we are self-sufficient in\nfood,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>\n
