Indonesia Finalizes Front-of-Package Nutrition Labeling Regulation for Processed Foods
ID2026-0026 – On June 9, 2026, Indonesia’s National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) finalized Regulation No. 10/2026, updating front-of-package nutrition labeling requirements for packaged processed foods and beverages — introducing revised Nutrition Information (ING) requirements, a voluntary “Healthier Choice” logo, and mandatory Nutri-Level front-of-pack labeling for specified beverage categories based on sugar, sodium, and total fat content. The regulation applies equally to imported and domestically produced products, imposes no sales or distribution restrictions, and carries significant implications for U.S. exporters given approximately $355 million in U.S. processed food exports to Indonesia in 2025, with full compliance required by June 17, 2028. Notably, Indonesia’s WTO notification (G/TBT/N/IDN/56/Add.2), circulated June 15, 2026, purported to open a 60-day comment period on the draft regulation despite the final regulation having been promulgated just two days later.
