Indonesia’s nutrition labelling rules have changed under BPOM Regulation No. 10 of 2026, introducing updated Nutritional Value Information (Informasi Nilai Gizi or ING) requirements and the new Nutri-Level system for certain beverage products.
The regulation took effect on June 17, 2026, with updated requirements applying to new registration applications from August 3, 2026, and a transition period for existing products ending on June 17, 2028.
Businesses introducing new products or maintaining existing portfolios should start aligning their nutrition data and packaging before these requirements affect their commercial timelines.
Key takeaways
- BPOM Regulation 10/2026 replaces the previous nutrition labelling framework for processed foods in Indonesia, subject to specified exemptions.
- New product registrations submitted from August 3, 2026, must meet the updated ING requirements.
- Nutri-Level introduces front-of-pack nutrition grades from A to D for specified ready-to-drink, powdered and concentrated beverages.
- Existing registered products have a 24-month transition period, ending on June 17, 2028, to meet the applicable updated requirements.
- Early nutrition analysis, packaging assessment, and alignment with BPOM registration can reduce the risk of costly revisions and market-entry delays.
What changed under Indonesia’s 2026 nutrition labelling rules?
BPOM Regulation No. 10 of 2026 changes how food and beverage businesses prepare nutrition information for products sold in Indonesia.
The regulation replaces BPOM Regulation 26/2021 and related previous provisions, updates nutrition information requirements, and introduces Nutri-Level for specified beverage categories.
| Regulatory change | What businesses need to know | Business implications |
| Updated nutrition information (ING) | Nutrition values, serving sizes, and label presentation must follow BPOM 10/2026. | Existing nutrition panels may require recalculation or redesign. |
| Nutri-Level introduction | Specified beverages require front-of-pack grades from A to D, subject to the transition period. | Brands must assess nutrition profiles and update packaging. |
| New registration requirements | Applications submitted from August 3, 2026, must meet the updated ING requirements. | Incomplete nutrition data can delay BPOM approval. |
| Existing product transition | Affected products must comply by June 17, 2028. | Businesses need to plan portfolio-wide packaging updates. |
| Imported products | Imported products must meet applicable Indonesian nutrition labelling requirements. | Overseas labels may require local adjustments before distribution. |
Please note that Nutri-Level doesn’t replace the standard ING nutrition information. Businesses must differentiate between general nutrition labelling obligations and the additional front-of-pack grading requirements for relevant beverages.
Why Nutri-Level matters for food and beverage businesses
Indonesia’s Nutri-Level system is designed to make beverages’ sugar, salt, and fat content easier for consumers to understand.
For manufacturers, importers, and distributors, however, its implications extend beyond consumer information.
Products may require additional nutritional analysis, revised packaging, and closer coordination among regulatory, product development, and marketing teams.
How Nutri-Level grades are determined
Nutri-Level assigns a grade from A to D based on the sugar, sodium and total fat content per 100 ml of the beverage in its ready-to-consume form.
| Nutrient per 100 ml | Level A | Level B | Level C | Level D |
| Sugar | ≤ 0.5 g | > 0.5–6 g | > 6–12.5 g | > 12.5 g |
| Sodium | ≤ 5 mg | > 5–120 mg | > 120–500 mg | > 500 mg |
| Total fat | ≤ 0.5 g | > 0.5–3 g | > 3–17 g | > 17 g |
A product’s overall Nutri-Level is determined by its least favourable nutrient grade. For example, a beverage classified as Level B for sugar, Level A for sodium, and Level C for total fat receives an overall Level C.
BPOM also establishes restrictions on the use of food-additive sweeteners:
- Level A: Natural and artificial food-additive sweeteners are not permitted, including carry-over.
- Level B: Only natural food-additive sweeteners are permitted.
- Levels C and D: Natural or artificial food-additive sweeteners may be used, subject to applicable requirements.
Other product-specific rules and exemptions may also apply, including particular treatment of certain plain milk products.
Which beverage products are affected?
Nutri-Level applies to specified beverage categories, including:
- Ready-to-drink beverages
- Powdered beverages
- Liquid beverage concentrates
- Solid beverage concentrates
Certain specialised products, including infant formula, follow-on formula, growing-up formula and processed food for special medical purposes, cannot display Nutri-Level under these provisions.
For companies managing multiple beverage brands, product classification should be assessed individually. Not every beverage or processed food product meets the same labelling requirements.
What businesses must get right before the deadline?
With new BPOM registration requirements already in effect and the transition deadline set for June 17, 2028, businesses should prioritise the following actions:
- Identify affected products: Review which products require updated nutrition information or Nutri-Level grading.
- Verify nutrition data: Confirm nutritional values against product formulations and supporting documentation.
- Update product labels: Align nutrition facts and Nutri-Level information with BPOM requirements.
- Match BPOM registration records: Ensure updated labels and product information match registration documents.
- Plan implementation early: Coordinate packaging updates, regulatory submissions and inventory transitions to avoid delays.
Addressing these requirements early can reduce costly revisions and keep product launches and distribution on schedule.
What happens if businesses fail to comply?
Failing to meet applicable Indonesian nutrition labelling requirements can lead to both regulatory and commercial consequences.
- Registration delays: Incomplete or inconsistent nutrition information can trigger requests for clarification or correction.
- Packaging rework: Incorrect labels may require redesign, reprinting, or replacement before products can be distributed compliantly.
- Higher operational costs: Additional laboratory testing, regulatory submissions, and packaging modifications can increase compliance expenditure.
- Disrupted product launches: Delays in finalising compliant documentation and packaging can affect import schedules, distributor readiness and market entry.
- Ongoing compliance exposure: Products that remain non-compliant after applicable transition deadlines may face regulatory action.
Addressing these requirements before packaging approval or BPOM submission is generally more efficient than correcting them after commercial schedules are established.
