Abstract

Advances in technology and science have changed the way food and drug are produced. The circulation of Snacks for School Children (PJAS) that contained harmful substances in Pekanbaru City calls for serious attention. In buying snacks at school, children tend to only see the external appearance of the food without knowing whether or not there are harmful substances in the food. This is caused by the lack of knowledge regarding possible harmful substances that may be contained in the food. Factors causing snack makers to use Harmful Food Additives (BTP) include ignorance factor, deliberate factor and public purchasing power factor. The role of Pekanbaru Food and Drug Administration Centre (BBPOM) in the circulation of Harmful Snacks for School Children is insignificant due to limited authority in taking action against business actors who violate the law. Therefore, a fundamental change is needed to the laws and regulations governing the authority of FDA to take action against perpetrators of violations of the circulation of food and drugs, both criminal, administrative and civil.
