United Arab Emirates: FAIRS Subject Report. GCC Approves New Standards for Expiration Periods and Food Labeling, 2007. GAIN Report Number TC7026

摘要

The Gulf Cooperation Council has approved new standards governing expiration periods and food labeling. Governments in Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE are expected to adopt these standards in coming months as national standards. The standards address a long standing issue related to shelf life, but continue some requirements that have complicated the export process in the past.
