Placing Information Labels on Frozen Food Product Packaging: Legal Protection for Consumer Health Rights

In Indonesia, producers of ready-to-cook, processed or frozen food, do not comply with legal provisions, which can lead to health risks. This study aimed to discuss the regulations that protect consumers' health rights when it comes to frozen food products, particularly that do not have information labels on their packaging. The research used normative juridical law methods, where laws and regulations were examined starting from legal principles and their application in society. The study obtained data through primary legal sources such as applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia. A qualitative approach was used to analyze the findings. The study found that the legal protection of consumer health rights was based on principles that provided direction and implementation at the level of practice. These principles included benefits, fairness, balance, consumer security and safety, and legal certainty. The study concludes that legal protection of consumer health rights, including the inclusion of information labels on frozen food product packaging, should be regulated vide applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia. The law enforcement needs to be firm in imposing strict sanctions on producers who do not include information labels on their packaging, to provide legal certainty and ensure consumer safety.
