<![CDATA[Since 2025, food safety monitoring in markets has faced resource constraints, even as hazardous substances continue to be detected in food products. Monitoring results from BBPOM Pekanbaru (2021–2024) indicate a history of findings regarding Borax and Rhodamine B, making them key parameters for establishing risk-based monitoring priorities. This study aims to analyze the selection of food safety monitoring methods in markets based on historical data, risk, cost, effectiveness, and field conditions. This descriptive study utilizes secondary data—including monitoring and testing results from 2021–2024, 2024 rapid test kit availability, monitoring cost requirements, literature, and relevant regulations. Analysis was conducted by identifying detection patterns and priority parameters, comparing costs and effectiveness, and performing Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) and a comparative SWOT analysis. The findings indicate that Borax and Rhodamine B should be testing priorities based on historical detection data. Budget efficiency can be achieved through selective, risk-based testing, while the "Cek KLIK" (Check Packaging, Label, Distribution Permit, and Expiration Date) method is applied according to its specific monitoring targets. Method selection must be evidence-based and adaptive, taking into account objectives, risks, resources, and field conditions.]]>
