Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused people’s routines to change to online food applications. Consumer needs to be guaranteed over unsafe food because consuming food will directly impact health. This research aims to examine: (i) regulation of consumer protection of online food application during COVID-19- (ii) the role of government on consumer protection of online food application during COVID-19. This research was conducted by empirical normative legal research with a qualitative approach. The data consisted of primary and secondary data sources obtained from primary, secondary, and tertiary laws. An interview collected primary data, while a literature study gathered the secondary data. All data were analysed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The study results showed some basic national and international regulations in protecting consumers of online food applications during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, there is no specific provision about the online distribution of ready-to-serve food. The government’s role also still lacks in regulating and supervising the ready-to-serve food. They assume there is no authority or obligation to take action in that situation.
