Receh.in – The Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) has recalled a number of Starbucks sachets imported from Turkey due to the lack of a distribution permit issued by the BPOM.
The recall
was announced following a routine inspection conducted by the BPOM ahead of the
2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year celebrations (Nataru). The Starbucks sachets
were found in Banjarmasin without a distribution permit.
BPOM head,
Penny K. Lukito, urged the public to carefully check the information of
imported products being sold through various channels, particularly during the
Christmas and New Year holiday period, when many importers tend to send expired
imported products to Indonesia.
Most of
these products with invalid distribution permits (TIE) come from Malaysia and
China, followed by Singapore, South Korea, Europe, and the United States.
According
to the special routine inspection conducted by the BPOM since December 1, 2022,
the agency has discovered 66,113 products that do not meet regulatory standards
(TMK), with an economic value of approximately IDR 666.9 million (about
$47,000) in the special routine inspection ahead of Christmas 2022 and New Year
2023. Of the total 66,113 products discovered by BPOM, expired products made up
36,978, products without a distribution permit (TIE) made up 23,752, and
damaged products made up 5,383.
The most
common expired products were found in the BPOM's work areas in Kupang,
Manokwari, Ambon, Merauke, and Kendari, and were in the form of powdered
coffee, seasonings and condiments, instant noodles, ready-to-use seasonings,
and flavored powdered drinks.
The most
common damaged products were found in Mimika, Kupang, Sungai Penuh, Kendari,
and Surabaya, and included sauces/sambal, sweetened condensed milk,
UHT/sterilized milk, instant noodles, and milk-based drinks.
