Abstract

The circulation of adulterated rice that does not comply with quality standards causes consumer losses and reflects weaknesses in food trade supervision. This study aims to analyze the forms of government supervision over adulterated rice practices and the liability of business actors toward consumers harmed in the case of PT Padi Indonesia Maju. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and case approaches. Legal materials were obtained through library research supported by interviews with the Indonesian Consumers Foundation. The results show that the distribution of adulterated rice by PT Padi Indonesia Maju violates consumer protection and food law provisions because the products traded did not comply with quality standards and labeling requirements. Business actors are responsible for compensating consumers, while the government must strengthen supervision and law enforcement to ensure consumer protection in food trade practices.
