Indonesian government has promulgated several regulations on food safety such as Act 18/2012 on Food and Government Regulation No. 28 of 2004 on Food Safety, Quality and Nutrition. Also, the government has established the National Agency for Drug and Food Control to monitor and supervise the food sector.
