Abstract

This research analyzes the responsibilities of the Kupang City Agriculture Service regarding the distribution of pork sold on the streets, by referring to Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. The focus of the research is to identify the steps taken by the Department of Agriculture to ensure the safety and quality of pork in circulation, as well as its impact on public health. The method used in this research is an empirical legal research method, involving interviews with related parties and field observations. The results of the research are to determine the form of legal protection for pork consumers in Kupang City and the efforts of the Kupang City Agriculture Service to protect consumers. Even though the Department of Agriculture has made monitoring efforts, there are still weaknesses in implementing regulations and educating traders. This research recommends the need to increase cooperation between agencies and outreach programs to increase awareness of traders and consumers regarding the importance of food safety.
