Frozen food has become a popular food alternative

among Indonesian society due to its practicality and long

shelf life. This study aims to analyze the legal and

economic impacts of the frozen food business on

Indonesian society, particularly in terms of regulatory

compliance and the economic opportunities and

challenges it presents. This research employs a

qualitative method with a descriptive-explorative

approach, using secondary data obtained from academic

literature, relevant legislation, and previous studies.

Legally, the findings indicate that many business actors

fail to meet licensing requirements such as distribution

permits from BPOM and halal certification, which

compromises consumer safety. Economically, the frozen

food industry offers new entrepreneurship opportunities,

increases community income, and provides an economic

solution during the pandemic. The expected outcome of

this research is to enhance understanding of the

importance of legal compliance in the processed food

industry and to encourage the strengthening of the

community’s economy through a legally compliant and

sustainable frozen food sector.
