Bulgaria: New Regulation on Food and Drinks for Institutions

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

A new Ministry of Agriculture and Food regulation on supply of food and drinks to children at kindergartens, schools and other institutions hosting children was published in early November. The regulation introduces stringent requirements to food and drinks consumed or sold at these institutions and mandatory supply of dairy and meat products produced in compliance with the Bulgarian government standards. This is estimated to lead to an advantaged market position for some food manufacturers and to limit consumption of imported products even if they are “healthy”.
