It describes Indonesia's food control infrastructure, including relevant laws and the National Agency for Drug and Food Control (NADFC), which functions similarly to a food and drug administration. NADFC oversees regulation of processed foods, including pre-market assessment and standards for food safety, quality, additives, labeling and advertising.
