Food Safety in the Protection of the Right to Health

Abstract

Food safety is still not getting the attention it should; therefore the condition of food safety in Indonesia is still a concern. WHO reports that around 2 million of the world’s population die every year due to unsafe food. In Indonesia, Indonesia Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) reported that the outbreak of food poisoning caused the death of 2500 people and as many as 411,500 people sick each year. Food safety is a right for the community but has not been accomplished until now. The study aimed to describe food safety in the protection of the right to health. The research method used was literature review and analysis used descriptive research. The results of the study showed that the condition of food safety in Indonesia still lacks good quality with the number of the outbreak of poisoning cases. Protection of the right to health as regulated in the Health Law Number 36 of 2009 has not been well carried out. Food safety in the protection of the right to health has not been realized because there are still many dangerous food products circulating in the market so that there needs to be strict regulation from stakeholders in protecting the right to health for the community.
