In Indonesia’s food and beverage industry, food trays play a critical role in maintaining food safety and quality. To ensure compliance with safety standards, the Indonesian government enforces SNI (Standard Nasional Indonesia) — a mandatory national standard that governs the safety and quality of various products, including food-contact materials.
1. What Is SNI for Food Trays?
SNI (Indonesian National Standard) is a technical standard established by the National Standardization Agency (BSN) to ensure the safety, quality, and suitability of a product. Food trays must be SNI certified to ensure the safety, quality, and cleanliness of products, especially those used in government programs such as Free Nutritious Meals (MBG). This policy aims to protect consumer health by ensuring that food trays are made from safe materials (such as type 304 stainless steel) and are free from harmful substances or contamination such as lard, which has been an issue in the past.
For food trays, the SNI focuses on:
- Safety of raw materials (plastic, paper, or fiber safe for food contact)
- Chemical migration and toxicity testing
- Heat and moisture resistance
- Usage type validation (single-use or reusable)
This ensures all food trays in the Indonesian market are safe and reliable for consumers.
2. Why SNI Certification Matters
SNI certification is both a regulatory and market advantage. For manufacturers and importers, having the SNI mark means:
- Easier access to the national market
- Higher consumer trust and brand credibility
- Eligibility for government tenders
- Compliance with Indonesia’s food packaging safety laws
3. How the SNI Testing and Certification Process Works
To obtain SNI certification for food trays, manufacturers must follow these key steps:
- Application to a Product Certification Body (LSPro) — such as Cerapproval, accredited by KAN.
- Laboratory testing of product samples for compliance with SNI standards.
- Factory inspection and quality management audit to ensure consistent production.
- Issuance of the SNI certificate once compliance is verified.
Cerapproval provides end-to-end support, helping companies with document preparation, laboratory coordination, and audit readiness to streamline certification.
