Food Labels, Important Things to Look For Before Buying Packaged Food and Beverages

Currently, the development of the food industry is growing rapidly so that a wide variety of food products are circulating on the market. However, on the other hand, this also creates confusion in the community in choosing their nutritional intake.

Even more worrying, many of them rarely or tend not to pay attention to the packaging labels of the processed food or drink they buy. In fact, this is the most important part that must be considered in regulating nutritional intake.

In the Grid Health Talk: Becoming a Smart Consumer by Reading Labels, Sutanti Siti Namtini, Director of Processed Food Standardization of BPOM, explained that what is meant by food labels is: "Any information regarding food in the form of pictures, writing, a combination of both, or other forms of included on food, affixed to, or constituting part of the packaging on food. "

Based on Law no. 31 of 2018, this label must be attached to processed food produced or imported for domestic trade.

According to Sutanti, food labels are very important because they become a means of communication between producers and consumers.

"There is information there. Producers provide information about product content so that consumers know whether the products they consume are healthy and in accordance with the nutrition they need, "he explained.

In addition, for producers, food labels also create fair, honest and responsible trade so as to protect consumer health.
