Egypt: FAIRS Country Report
Link to report:
Egypt is consolidating the national food safety system. Implementation is through Prime Ministerial Executive Regulation 412 (February 2019) – National Food Safety Authority (NFSA). The implementing regulation mandates that the NFSA assume full responsibility from other ministries, public institutions, government agencies, and municipalities for the regulation of foodstuffs. This law eliminates the previous patchwork of food-related regulation, that created confusion and inefficiencies for Egyptian exporters and importers alike.
