Jakarta. Agriculture Minister and National Food Agency chief Amran Sulaiman has flagged 25 fortified rice brands for allegedly failing to meet the nutritional standards stated on their labels. Amran said laboratory tests found that the nutritional content of the products did not match their claims of being fortified rice.
“They claim to be fortified. After we checked them at four credible laboratories, we found that they did not match their labels,” Amran said at a news conference in South Jakarta on Tuesday (Sep 15, 2026).
The tests were conducted by several laboratories, including the Integrated Laboratory of IPB University in Bogor, the Agricultural Research and Modernization Agency (BRMP), Saraswanti Indo Genetech and Eurofins. Amran estimated that consumers could have suffered losses of up to Rp89 trillion ($5.0 billion) from the alleged mislabeling and inflated prices.
He said some fortified rice products were sold for as much as Rp57,000 ($3.2) per kilogram, compared with an expected price of about Rp13,500 per kilogram.
“The average difference is Rp22,000 per kilogram. This is hurting our consumers,” Amran said.
