Food poisoning ruling necessary, YPKKI says

JAKARTA: The Indonesian Health Consumers Empowerment
Foundation (YPKKI) called on the government on Wednesday to issue
a regulation concerning food security in response to cases of
food poisoning in East Java, Lampung and West Sumatra.

YPKKI demanded the government make it mandatory for every food
producer to follow good manufacturing practices and hygiene
standards.

It also urged the government not only to issue a public
warning on food poisoning, but also to draft a regulation that
would impose heavy sanctions against food producers that did not
follow standards. -- JP
