MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY LAUNCHES QUALITY SEAL PROJECT

The Ministry of Industry (MoI) has launched a quality of manufacturing and food safety project, which aims at helping manufacturers improve food safety standards. The project will help manufacturers improve the quality, a National Food Safety Expert. The team will supervise the factories’ compliance with food safety standards based on a form that the factory owners will complete. The factories will then be issued a score out of 100. The team will also give instructions and guide them on addressing any gaps and on meeting the required standards. Abou Reslan said that factories that score more than 80 points will be inspected after two months to make sure that they are abiding with the standards. A sample from the factories’ products will be tested in the Industrial Research Institute (IRI). If the sample provesits compliant with LIBNOR standards then the factory will obtain the quality seal and food safety certificate. “The quality seal can be used for the factories’ entire produce, and this will help it market its produce abroad easily, and gain the customer’s trust,” Abou Reslan said.
