Abstract: Food is basically primary human need and right.Food supply is not only about quantity but also safety.The aspect of food safety is very important since it is closely related to public health.The quality of a nation depends on its food.The role of the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (NADFC) (Indonesian: Badan PengawasObat dan Makanan/BPOM) is to control or supervise the distribution of drugs and food in the market and provide guidance to business actors.The supervision carried out by NADFC on food products indirectly plays a role in protecting consumers from food products that are not suiTABLE for consumption.The gap between law in book and law in action in the distribution of food and snacks containing dangerous substances in elementary schools in Pekanbaru must be resolved immediately.One of the institutions that also conducts supervision on the distribution of food is NADFC Pekanbaru.To optimize this supervisory function, improvements need to be made in terms of substance (law), structure (organization), and legal culture in society.In order to make the law work more effectively, there must be synergy of the substance, structure, and culture of law.
