I In december 2024, toko mama khas banjar became involved in a criminal case concerning food products sold in its store. the case was subsequently adjudicated by the banjarbaru district court in decision number 38/pid.sus/2025/pn.bjb. the research problems addressed in this study are: (1) what is the role of the indonesian food and drug authority (bpom) in supervising business actors regarding the inclusion of expiration dates on the labels of msme food products at toko mama khas banjar? and (2) how does bpom implement its supervision of business actors concerning the inclusion of expiration dates on food product labels? this study employs a normative legal research method with a descriptive approach, using secondary data supported by interviews. data were collected through library research, analysed qualitatively, and conclusions were drawn using deductive reasoning. the findings indicate that bpom\\\'s role in supervising business actors regarding the inclusion of expiration dates on food labels at toko mama khas banjar, as stipulated in article 4 of presidential regulation number 80 of 2017, article 108 paragraph (3) of law number 18 of 2012, and article 30 of law number 8 of 1999, has not been implemented optimally. furthermore, bpom\\\'s implementation of supervision is constrained by limited supervisory funding, an imbalance between the number of msme business actors and bpom\\\'s supervisory capacity, a risk-based supervision mechanism, the low level of awareness among msme business actors to seek guidance, and weak inter-agency coordination. it is therefore recommended that bpom adopt a more proactive outreach approach by directly engaging with msme business actors in the field to ensure that all business actors receive adequate supervision and guidance.
