Video: Government's Commitment to Ensuring Food Security through PP No. 1/2026

CNBC Indonesia hosted the Food Summit 2026 titled “Indonesia Food Safety Urgency: Towards a New Policy Framework”, aimed at fostering shared understanding, strengthening synergy among stakeholders, and formulating strategic recommendations to bolster the national food safety and quality system.

Assistant Deputy for Food Safety, Quality, and Nutrition at the Coordinating Ministry for Food, Sabbat Christian Jannes, conveyed the government’s commitment to strengthening food safety while streamlining the food security system in Indonesia through Government Regulation No. 1 of 2026, particularly regarding regulations on food safety and quality standards.

This PP No. 1/2026 amends PP 86/2019 on food safety, which is overseen by several technical ministries—for instance, fresh animal-derived food safety falls under the Ministry of Agriculture, plant-derived fresh food under Bapanas, and fresh fish food under the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.

Through this new regulation, the previously fragmented food oversight is addressed via Articles 50 and 75 paragraph 6, which mandate the Coordinating Ministry for Food to coordinate national food supervision through the Food Security Task Force, including in cases like MBG.

From the business perspective, this food safety policy has been endorsed by global food and beverage producer PepsiCo. Director of Public Policy, Government Affairs & Corporate Communications at PepsiCo, Gabrielle Angriani John, confirmed that their supply chain and distribution are already secure.

PepsiCo also ensures compliance with government-imposed food safety regulations, covering raw materials, production processes, to distribution. Additionally, the company strengthens partnerships with local corn and potato farmers to develop efficient agriculture, yielding safe and quality raw materials.
