The circulation of expired infant formula products constitutes a serious issue that may endanger the health of infants as a highly vulnerable group of consumers. Therefore, the state has a responsibility to provide adequate legal protection for consumers against unsafe food products. The problem formulation of this study examines how the legal framework governing consumer protection with regard to expired infant formula products is regulated in Indonesia, as well as how consumer legal protection concerning expired infant formula products is regulated in a comparative perspective between Indonesia and Canada.
