Kembali 21 Agustus 2026 | Berita BAPETEN | 26 lihat
To ensure the continued safety of spice products exported to the United States, specifically addressing potential Cesium-137 (Cs-137) radioactive contamination, the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency of Indonesia (BAPETEN) provided technical support to the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM). This support involved conducting radiation scanning and measurements on export-grade spices at production facilities located in Java.
BAPETEN demonstrated its commitment by deploying competent personnel and providing radiation measurement equipment to ensure the export products were free from radionuclide contamination and met food safety standards and international trade regulations. These activities took place from August 19-21, 2026, at PT Agri Spice Indonesia (Klaten), PT Umbu Akses Global (Bogor), PT Ikafood Putramas (Bandung), and PT Indoharvest Spice (Mojokerto).
The technical assistance was carried out directly by radiation supervisors: Faisal in Klaten, Dona Risna Sari in Bogor, Hari Asmoko in Bandung, and Nafiah in Mojokerto. Detection was performed using Mirion Spir Pack and FLIR R-425 instruments, serving as a measure to maintain global confidence that Indonesian spices are free from radionuclide contamination, particularly Cs-137.
