JFDA seeking to name violators

  • Jordan: Monday, October 08 - 2012 at 06:16

The Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) has proposed amendments to the Food Law that would allow authorities to publicise the names of businesses that violate health regulations, Jordan Times has reported. The current law, enacted in 2001, does not authorise the JFDA or the health ministry to "name and shame" restaurants and food outlets that flout the regulations, which Mohammad Khreisha, director of JFDA's food directorate, said has led to numerous repeat violations. The JFDA has come under popular pressure to reveal the names of health violators in recent months, after an inspection campaign during Ramadan uncovered hundreds of violations, including some by popular restaurants and fast food chains.
