Abstract

The National Agency of Drug and Food Control (NADFC) in Indonesia faced various challenges while serving to provide quality assurance and safety-served cosmetics products equipped with clear data before they reach the consumer’s hand. For this reason, drug and food supervision requires the specific legal to support NADFC with strong independence and authority to carry out its duties. The purpose of this study is to analyse the supervision and law enforcement process implemented by NADFC against the circulation of illegal cosmetics and analyse the urgency of passing The Drug and Food Control Law’s draft as the specific legal to support NADFC’s duties. This study used empirical legal research. The primary legal material was obtained through interviews and the secondary legal material was obtained from regulations, law books and law journals. The collected primary legal and secondary legal materials are analized qualitatively and presented in a descriptive form. The result showed that the NADFC’s supervision of the cosmetics circulation includes the supervision of production process, licensing before distribution and post-market process. Meanwhile, law enforcement is carried out against violations of the law through the investigation process. As the specific legal to support NADFC’s duties, the Drug and Food Control Law’s draft is needed to be passed immediately to face the existing challenges.
