All tea products that have been certified by BPOM have actually gone through various due diligence and thorough inspections to ensure the safety of these products, including tea bags. So, there is no need to worry about consuming teabag from a trusted brand in Indonesia that has been BPOM certified.
Many conditions become the standard for all food products, especially tea bags, as reported in the BPOM website. One of the conditions, the tea bag used should not contain chlorine compounds for bleaching because it will be harmful to the body.
This requirement must be included at the time of requesting a product safety assessment to obtain marketing authorization from BPOM. As a protection for the community, the National Agency for Drug and Food Control continues to supervise products that might not meet the requirements.
Is it true that dipping a tea bag too long in hot water is dangerous?
Some of the outstanding issues and concerns of consumers are also teabags which are dangerous when soaked in hot water for too long. BPOM explained that the tea bags registered with the POM had gone through an evaluation of food safety assessments that required compliance with good migration boundary values.
The limit of migration is the maximum amount of substances that can move from food packaging (in this case tea bags), into foodstuffs (for example tea boiling water). Thus, the issue of tea bags is dangerous if soaked too long is not true if the tea product is already certified by BPOM.
All safe teabag products must have passed the BPOM requirements test and certainly have BPOM's distribution permit number. In addition, it must also meet global standards for the quality and safety of the product content and packaging.
The packaging material used in tea products should use material food grade so that it is in direct contact with food. Therefore, choose tea that is already certified. That way, you can get healthy tea optimally.
