Egypt: Egypt, Establishment of the National Food Safety Authority

The Egyptian Parliament established the new National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) in January 2017. The new authority is an independent organization under the Office of the Egyptian Prime Minister. Its mission is to protect consumer health, by ensuring that food products consumed, distributed, marketed or produced in Egypt meet the highest standards of food safety and hygiene. The agency is responsible for food safety regulation for domestic production, import and export through undertaking inspection, licensing and certification.
