Some 272 foreign enterprises were assessed at the request of 16 countries in 2023, the Azerbaijani Food Safety Agency (FSA) told AJMEDIA.
The agency said that the assessment of enterprises is carried out on-site or via video. Based on the results of the assessment, 214 of these facilities were approved and 20 were conditionally approved for inclusion in the Food Safety Register.
“Yazd Moein Dam Industrial Slaughterhouse Complex” and “Edalat Dam” companies operating in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Choibalsan Group in Mongolia, and “Snow King Frozen Foods” in Pakistan were denied approval due to identified inconsistencies. Consideration of reports on the 34 sites assessed is at the final stage.
According to the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan ‘On Food Security’, to import food and feed products belonging to the high-risk group into the territory of the country, foreign facilities where these products are produced must obtain FSA approval.
