JAKARTA - The Central Kalimantan Province Food Task Force (Satgas) team found Minya Kita products that were not in accordance with the dose, at Kahayan Market, Palangka Raya City.

The findings began when the Central Kalimantan Food Task Force Team, which consisted of the Trade and Industry Office, Central Kalimantan Police and the Testing and Certification Center for Central Kalibration Lab Quality, suddenly inspected in order to maintain price stability and the availability of basic commodities in the month of Ramadan.

"Earlier, we checked the quantity of bottled oil products for one liter. When we repeated them, it turned out that the contents were only 970 milliliters. This means that there was a difference of 30 milliliters," said Head of Public Relations of the Central Kalimantan Police, Kombes Pol Erlan Munaji in Palangka Raya, Wednesday.

Meanwhile, when his party re-packaged one liter of Minya Kita products, there was also a difference in quantity, namely 998 milliliters and there was a difference of 0.2 milliliters.

Terabali ini dilakukan untuk memastikan tidak ada beredar minyak goreng bersubsidi dari pemerintah yang akannya tidak sesuai sesuai sesuai sepatu.

"This is to provide protection and comfort for the community in buying cooking oil so that no one is harmed," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Consumer Protection Division of the Central Kalimantan Trade and Protection Office, Maskur, revealed that the difference in quantity was within the maximum limit of his party.

He said the maximum limit set by the Central Kalimantan Trade and Industry Office was 15 milliliters multiplied by two or 30 milliliters.

Meanwhile, there are traders who sell the price of Minya Kita above the highest retail price, which is Rp. 15,700, because many traders buy Minya Kita, not through distributors.

"So many of our traders, especially those with small kiosks who buy subsidized cooking oil, are retailers. So our traders are selling at a price of Rp. 16 thousand-Rp. 17 thousand," he said.

For this reason, Maskur appealed to all traders not to sell subsidized cooking oil above HET.

This is done so that all people of Central Kalimantan can get cooking oil at a low price.

"With sanctions or not for traders selling cooking oil above HET, of course the police have more authority to determine according to the process of further investigation," said Maskur.
