FDA Imposes New Rules on Indonesian Imports

The U.S. FDA has introduced new import certification requirements for Indonesian shrimp and spices following radioactive contamination cases. Starting October 31, 2025, these requirements will apply to certain Indonesian regions to ensure safety and compliance.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced stringent new import certification requirements targeting shrimp and spices from Indonesia. This decision comes in response to radioactive contamination incidents reported earlier.

In a statement released on its official website, the FDA highlighted safety concerns as the driving factor behind these regulatory changes.

The new requirements will come into effect on October 31, 2025, and are specifically applicable to imports from designated regions in Indonesia.
