6. Description of content: The requirements for Commercial Sterile Food are not yet 
regulated in Indonesia. Due to some regulation development from another countries 
regarding the microbiological contaminant requ irements and Code of Hygienic Practices 
for Low-Acid Canned Foods, NADFC has already started to amend the requirement of microbiological contaminant in Annex I of the Regulation of the Head of NADFC 
No. HK. 00.06.1.52.4011 on Maximum Level Requirement of Microbiological and 
Chemical Contaminants in Food. 
This regulation is the developed version from Regulation of the Head of NADFC 
No. HK.00.06.1.52.4011 on Maximum Level Requirement of Microbiological and 
Chemical Contaminants in Food. 
This regulation specified the requirement of commercially sterile processed foods with 
heat treatment. Component which included in  the regulation is the requirements of 
F0 must be 3.0 minutes minimum, counted by spores of Clostridium botulinum . 
The Code of Practices for the purpose of im plementation in industries are listed in 
NADFC Guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices of Commercially Sterile Food. 
As this new regulation is issued, therefore all the regulation regarding the requirement 
of Microbiological Contaminants and microbiological criteria in food declared to be 
invalid. 
7. Objective and rationale: [X] food safety, [ ] animal health, [ ] plant protection,
