Food safety is one of WHO’s primary concerns during a pandemic. The current Covid-19 pandemic requires us to boost our immune system by eating a healthy and balanced diet. Food consumed by the masses must be free of chemical and biological substances that can be harmful for the body. Nowadays, food products have developed to be more innovative, such as packaged processed food products that can be stored for a long time, generally using Food Additives. The safety of packaged processed food products must be guaranteed by the manufacturers in order to guarantee consumer protection. To ensure this, the government has established the Consumer Protection Law; the Government Regulation on Food Safety, Quality and Nutrition; and the Food and Drug Administration Division. Through the BPOM, the government supervises food products circulating in the community. The supervision carried out by BPOM are preventive and repressive. One form of supervision carried out by BPOM is granting distribution permits for packaged processed food products before they are distributed to the public. Keywords: packaged processed food products, BPOM

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to characterise the availability, the nutritional composition and the processing degree of industrial foods for 0–36-month-old children according to the neighbourhoods affluence. Design: A cross-sectional exploratory study. Setting: All food products available in retail stores for children aged 0–36 months were analysed. Data collection took place in two neighbourhoods, comparing two different sociodemographic districts (high v. low per capita income), Campanhã and Foz do Douro in Porto, Portugal. Participants: A total of 431 commercially processed food products for children aged 0–36 months which are sold in 23 retail stores were identified. Food products were classified according to their processing degree using the NOVA Food Classification System. Results: For NOVA analysis, of the 244 food products that were included 82 (33·6 %) were minimally processed, 25 (10·2 %) processed and 137 (56·1 %) ultra processed. No food product was classified as a culinary ingredient. The products included mostly cereals, yogurts, prevailed in high-income neighbourhoods for the 0–6-month-old group. It was observed that some categories of ultra-processed food (UPF) presented higher amounts of energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt than unprocessed/minimally processed products. Conclusions: The high availability of UPF offered for 0–36-month-old children should be considered when designing interventions to promote a healthy diet in infancy.

Micronutrient deficiency can be considered as one of the yield "quantity and quality" limiting factor in arid calcareous lands and can be considered as the troubling component of hunger. Therefore, enriching food products through adding nutrients to a food product or through increasing soil fertility and breeding crop for nutrient efficiency are alternatives available to improve food quality. However, poor people have no excess to food additives and can benefit from naturally enriched food products or what being called Biofortification. The existence of a general geographical overlap between soil Zn deficiency and human Zn deficiency has been already postulated. As agriculture-based food products are the major source of human nutrition, the relationship between the nutrient status of soils, food crops, and human health is understandable. poor but also deliver all the essential nutrients needed for adequate nutritional health. Sustainable solutions to malnutrition will only be found by closely linking agriculture to nutrition and health. The undergoing review would discuss these concepts and their implementation and uses with special concern on Iraqi conditions.

Noodles are a processed food product favored by most Indonesians, generally made from wheat which must be imported. Kepulauan Meranti Regency is the largest producer of sago in Indonesia. One of the products made from sago that is widely produced in Meranti is sa.go noodle. Making noodles with local raw materials such as sago and sweet potato is an effort to improve food security. Traditional sago noodle has  high carbohydrate and fiber content but still has disadvantages such as not having inulin content as a prebiotic, less antioxidant and a less attractive color, while purple sweet potato contains inulin as prebiotic components, high antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.The utilization of prebiotics insago noodle has multiple advantages since they improved probiotic growth in the body, sensory features and provide a more well-balanced nutritional composition as functional food. This community service program aims to training on the process of making prebiotic sago noodles to the community in Alai Selatan Village.This activities are carried out by course and practice methods.The results showed that the participants were interested in making prebiotic sago noodles because they had a more attractive features, more nutritious and had a delicious taste. Prebiotic sago noodles can be used as an effort to biodiversify sago noodle products to support food security and improve the community's economy.

Food is one of the most necessary needs of humans to survive so that everyone is expected to pay more attention to the food products that will be consumed.Indonesia is a country with a predominantly Muslim population. In the teachings of Islam there are orders to consume halal food and prohibition to consume illegitimate food. Halal product is a product that qualifies halal according to Islamic syariat from its substance, its process and its storage and presentation. This study aims to determine the implementation of law number 33 of 2014 on the guarantee of halal products on the registration of halal certificates on food products and what are the constraints faced in registering halal certificates.The guarantee of consumer protection against the circulation of halal labeled food products is already guaranteed according to the prevailing laws and regulations and the products labeled official halal have provided legal certainty to the halal nature of the product itself which can be seen from the authority given by the government to MUI and BPJPH.

Contaminates such as pesticides, toxic molecules of natural origin, genetically modified organisms and others can occur in processed food, especially if the main ingredient grows in open fields exposed to the environment. In particular, some health threatening toxic compounds are natural ingredients of plants that grow wild next to vegetables intended for consumption and can therefore enter the crop yield and stay there undetected. The tropane alkaloids-containing nightshade thornapple Datura stramonium, often grows in close vicinity to millet (Panicum miliaceum) a widely cultivated cereal, representing an important nutrient source in different countries of Asia and Africa. Discriminating thornapple from millet during harvest is not easy and consequently, millet-containing food products are often contaminated with tropane alkaloids from thornapple. In this work, two DNA specific hydrolysis probe qPCR methods were developed for Datura stramonium and Panicum miliaceum in order to detect thornapple contamination in millet-containing food products. The specificity and sensitivity of the developed assay system allows for its application in screenings during food product testing.

The purpose of consumer protection rules is to improve protection against consumers by avoiding the negative effects. Halal certification requirements on food products are also a country protection effort against consumers. Consumers have the right to know the content of food and beverages they will consume. During this time, halal certification is synonymous with Muslim community needs. However, it is not only Muslims who have religious rules regarding food. For example, Christians and Hindus also have rules regarding food.  Indonesia as a multicultural-multireligious country, should attention to this diversity. If the certification of halal products only targets the needs of Muslims only, then how with non-Muslim consumer protection efforts related to their right to know the content of food, cosmetics and medicines are not contradictory Their religious. This research is a research library with a normative juridical approach. This research aims to give readers an understanding of the principles related to halal certification, especially on food products. The research is also important to provide an understanding of the relationship between halal certification and transparency of food product composition with the fulfillment of Muslim and non-Muslim consumer rights.
