98 Pct of China-made Food Not Licensed

Indonesian Food and Drugs Monitoring Agency (BPOM) records that only two percent of China-made cosmetics and food products circulating in the country are licensed.

BPOM Chief Kustantiah said on Monday, "98 percent of China-made cosmetics and food products are not registered in the BPOM."

For the time being, the BPOM plans to persuade Chinese producers register products that are subjects to imports. "Thus, it will be safe for Indonesian consumers to consume [the products]," she said.
