New Agreement To Streamline Food Testing Process In Asean
Monday, June 20, 2016 – THE ASEAN Food and Beverage Alliance (AFBA) is hoping the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) on food hygiene system among ASEAN countries will streamline the testing process for food exports.
Dr Siti N Abdul Malek (pictured), director at the AFBA secretariat, said the Product Working Group of Prepared Foodstuffs (PFPWG) is working on the MRA and will be finalised by this year.
“In the food industry you need to demonstrate with evidence that the products you produce for the consumers are safe for consumption,” she said.
