Egypt: FAIRS Country Report
The Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards (FAIRS) report provides an overview of the food laws and regulatory environment in Egypt as it relates to U.S. food and agricultural exports. The Minister of Agriculture announced recently that his ministry will take the lead in establishing a Food Safety Authority, which would consolidate Egypt’s disparate food safety system. Egypt’s food
control systems and food control infrastructure consist of food laws and accompanying regulations and ministerial decrees, food inspection services, and laboratories for technical support.
