Latest notice (⁨G/SPS/N/IDN/138/Add.1⁩, 25 March 2026)

Regulation of Indonesian National Food and Drug Agency Number 13 of 2019 on Maximum Limits of Microbial Contamination on Processed Food

The maximum limits of microbial contaminants in processed foods are regulated under Regulation of the Indonesian FDA No. 13 of 2019 on the Maximum Limit of Microbial Contaminants in Processed Foods. This draft amendment has been developed due to advancements in science and technology, the emergence of new types of processed foods for which microbiological criteria have not yet been established, and the need to address implementation challenges of the existing regulation, including issues related to the application of microbiological criteria for certain commodities. The amendment to the regulation is limited to the following four food categories: 06.4.3 Pre-cooked pasta and noodles and similar products, specifically ready-to-eat processed flour/starch-based foods; 08.3.2 Meat, poultry meat, and game meat, comminuted and heat-treated, specifically sausages and meatballs subjected to pasteurization; 14.1.4.3 Concentrates (liquid or solid) for flavoured water-based beverages, specifically flavoured powdered beverages containing milk or milk products, creamers, or chocolate; 14.1.5 Coffee, coffee substitutes, tea, herbal infusions, and hot cereal- and grain-based beverages, excluding cocoa, specifically dry tea, powdered tea, and tea bags (including black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, and scented/flavoured tea).

The maximum level requirement of microbiological and chemical contaminant in food are regulated in the Regulation of the Chairperson of FDA No. … Year 2019 on Microbiological Criteria in Food. Due to some regulation development from other countries regarding the maximum microbiological contaminant requirement; and that certain requirements from the regulation are not applicable, FDA has finished amending the requirement of microbiological contaminant in Annex 1 of the regulation and will revoke this Annex 1 and replace it with the new Regulation of FDA RI on Maximum Limit of Microbial Contamination. This draft regulates and specifies the microbiological criteria: The type of food; The type of microorganism (s) and the microbiological limit (m, M); and How to control it by guiding the sampling plan to the laboratory test defining the number of sample units to be taken (n), the size of analytical unit and where appropriate, and the acceptance number (c). As this new regulation is issued, therefore the previous regulation regarding the requirement of microbiological contaminant and microbiological criteria in food is declared to be invalid.
