She emphasised on the health risks associated with these oils and stated that the National Committee for Food Safety has partially approved the ban already.
The ministry will provide a grace period for food establishments across the nation to comply with certain standard specifications before the ban takes effect. It will also monitor the implementation of the ban through relevant authorities.
The session emphasised the need to expedite the completion of all food safety regulations, increase coordination between the relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure effective implementation and verification of food safety, and complete the development, standardisation, and implementation of the national food product registration system (ZAD), especially regarding food or feed registration procedures and supervision.
