The Importance of BPOM Circular Permit for Small and Medium Business Owners in the Food Sector

Daftar Pembahasan

Nowadays, we can easily find a variety of small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in the food and beverage sector. However, there are still many MSME owners who do not realize how important it is to have a distribution permit from the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) for their products. Obtaining a BPOM license is concrete proof that the product has undergone rigorous testing and has ingredients that are safe for consumers. This, of course, can increase public or potential consumers’ trust in the product.

BPOM, which stands for Food and Drug Supervisory Agency, is an Indonesian agency that has the authority to supervise and regulate all medicines and food products circulating in Indonesia. The supervisory approach implemented by BPOM includes detection, monitoring, licensing, and prevention of product circulation.

The Important Role of BPOM Lisence Permit

The distribution permit from BPOM is the main requirement for obtaining permission to include the BPOM label on product packaging. When this BPOM label is displayed, it shows that the product being sold has a status that is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration. The presence of this BPOM certificate gives more confidence to consumers and potential consumers in consuming or using the products offered.

Financial Aspects Related to BPOM Lisence Permit

Given that the process of applying for a BPOM distribution permit takes quite a long time and involves clinical trials to ensure product safety, there are of course associated costs. This fee is part of the Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP). To register a product at BPOM, the fee starts from IDR 100,000 per product for medicines and IDR 100,000 per product for food.

Product Registration Process at BPOM

To register your product, you can access BPOM’s official website at https://e-bpom.pom.go.id/. Through this platform, the product distribution license registration process becomes simpler. The first step is to register the company that manufactures the product in question.

After successfully registering the company, the next step is to obtain a BPOM distribution permit for the products to be sold. The following are the steps to obtain a product distribution permit at BPOM:
