<![CDATA[The weak enforcement of the law against business operators who produce food products that do not comply with applicable regulations remains a significant concern. This is evident from the continued presence of processed food products containing prohibited or unsafe food additives. The trade in fresh yellow noodles is frequently associated with irresponsible business practices, particularly the use of formalin as a preservative. Formalin is a hazardous chemical that poses serious risks to human health. Consumption of food containing formalin may cause allergic reactions, cancer, gastric irritation, vomiting accompanied by blood, and even death. Using a normative juridical research method, this study aims to examine the legal liability of business operators who sell fresh yellow noodles preserved with formalin and the legal protection afforded to consumers as victims. The Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) also plays an important role in supervising food products that may contain formalin. The legal settlement of criminal offenses involving the sale of fresh yellow noodles containing formalin may be based on Article 62 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 8 paragraph (1) of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, Article 136 of Law Number 18 of 2012 concerning Food, and Article 111 paragraph (1) of Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health, as cited in this study.]]>
