BPOM Observes Food Sales In Central Lombok Ahead Of The 2023 Mandalika MotoGP

NTB - The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) has increased food sales supervision in Central Lombok ahead of the MotoGP event at the Mandalika Circuit on October 13-15, 2023.

"Supervision of processed food products for MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) has begun, not only during Ramadan," said Head of BPOM NTB Yosef Dwi Irawan in Praya, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Monday 11 September, confiscated by Antara.

He said that his party was also still involved in the process of curating the products of MSMEs in the 2023 MotoGP event and the previous MotoGP event and the World Superbike (WSBK) event.

According to him, if the products of MSMEs are less hygienic, do not let tourists who consume processed products suffer from illness, so that collaboration in curation is important and ensures that the products of MSMEs are safe for health.

"We hope that the MSMEs have food safety recipes for consumption by the public and tourists," he said.

Yosef said, BPOM NTB has also formed a team so that supervision of drugs and food is not only carried out during the MotoGP event, but since the processed products were produced by MSMEs.

"Supervision has begun at the lower level," he said.

In addition, BPOM also hopes that all parties can collaborate to ensure that the quality of the product produced by the MSMEs is safe for consumption.

"BPOM cannot run alone, but it requires support and collaboration from all parties, including MSMEs," he said.
