=AND WHAT THE GOVERMENT MUST DO? =

However formalin used many producen in Indonesia but the goverment can not do anything. The proof can be obtained, that in fact the use of formaldehyde as a food preservative is still rampant. Actually, the government has tried to take action, namely by the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM). Some steps already taken by the BPOM, such as: prohibiting comestible white rabbit creamy candy brand, kiamboy, classic cream, black currants, and candied plums; issued Permenkes no. 722/1998 regarding the additional ingredients used in food is prohibited and do socialization for used the food additives which allowed for food and drink (UU No.23/1992 for food safety.

 But the efforts made POM, only considered bullying by the traders, since POM just pass a law and rules. But POM does not act decisively like to give strict punishment for merchants who are still using borax and formaldehyde, even this body is still less vigorous in conducting raids. And we think the goverment must crack down to the producer used formalin in the them production. The goverment must hould always supervise the production of foodstuffs through BPOM
