Abstract

As a Muslim majority country, it goes without saying that Indonesia protects the rights of Muslim consumers on risk-free and halal food distribution. This doctrinal juridical approach aims to analyze the regulation of the safe and halal food consumers' rights and their application to judicial decisions. The regulation of halal food distribution has provided a legal protection for the food consumers. The weakness of the regulation lies on the general criminal sanction without any specific minimum provision. A review of the court's verdict shows that the application of criminal sanction of the safe and halal food consumers' rights violations is still inconsistent. This is an implication of the general criminal sanction which gives free space to law enforcement to apply minimum penalty. This condition causes potentially violated regulation by food business actors. Abstrak Indonesia yang berpenduduk mayoritas muslim, wajar apabila menjamin secara hukum perlindungan hak-hak konsumen muslim terhadap peredaran pangan yang aman dan halal. Pendekatan yuridis doktrinal ini bermaksud untuk menganalisis pengaturan hak-hak konsumen pangan yang aman dan halal serta dalam penerapannya pada putusan pengadilan. Regulasi di bidang peredaran pangan aman dan halal telah memberikan perlindungan hokum kepada konsumen pangan. Kelemahan regulasi tersebut terdapat pada pengaturan ancaman sanksi pidana yang bersifat maskimum umum tanpa ada ketentuan miminum khusus. Telaah terhadap putusan pengadilan menunjukkan bahwa penerapan sanksi pidana terhadap pelanggaran hak-hak konsumen pangan yang aman dan halal masih tidak konsisten. Hal ini merupakan implikasi dari ancaman sanksi pidana maskimum umum, yang memberi ruang bebas kepada penegak hukum untuk menerapkan ancaman hukuman yang minimum. Kondisi ini dapat berdampak peraturan tidak dipatuhi oleh pelaku usaha bidang pangan. Kata kunci: perlindungan konsumen, peredaran pangan, putusan hakim. Introduction Food is basic human needs in order to keep alive.
