Joint Officers Find Food Products Without Circulation Permit At The Cakung Area Large Mall

Joint officers supervise food products at the AEON Cakung shopping center, East Jakarta, ahead of the 2024 Christmas and New Year celebrations. From the results of the raid, officers found that two food products did not have a distribution permit.

Head of DKI BPOM, Sofiani Chandrawati Anwar, said that his party routinely monitors every year ahead of religious holidays.

"As a result, there are 14 products that do not meet the label provisions and two products do not have a distribution permit. All of them are immediately destroyed on the spot so that they are not resold and consumed by the public," Sofiani said, Tuesday, December 19.

He appealed to all business actors to ensure that the products sold have a distribution permit, because this is a quality and safety guarantee of the products they sell. The type of food product found without a distribution permit is bread.

AEON Cakung's Store Manager, Riza Teguh Iman Santoso, admitted that the food product that had not been equipped with a distribution permit at the storefront was due to negligence from its employees.

"So all variants actually already have a distribution permit and only one variant does not have a distribution permit. This is a weakness of our supervision and it should have been checked first," he said.
