Food safety : Economy ministry suspends trading in Cortas products

17-1-2019

The minister of economy in the caretaker government, Raed Khury, issued yesterday five circulars relating to the suspension or resumption in the trading of specific goods. Some of the products banned from trading, included meat products by Wehbeh meat house located in Tiro-Shweifat south of Beirut, for failing to comply with the provisions of directive 496/1 concerning the regulation, transporting and testing samples of the imported meat. Al Saray drinking water bottled by Al Saraya trading company, Shweifat- Amrusia area, is also among the suspended items for not observing Lebanese specifications. On the other hand, the minister’s decision sanctioned the resumption of two varieties of turnip pickles by the Dora-based Cortas company and Khayrat al Biqaa al Akhdar in Tyre, after lab tests proved the absence of the prohibited color additives in them. Another product which resumed trading are the breads and pastries of Al Ai’la al Haditha Bakery in Aisha Bakkar, Beirut. (Al Diyar, Al Mustaqbal, January 17, 2019)
