Israel announces regulatory reforms for food imports

Israel

Jul 25, 2024

As part of the food reform, the Ministry of Health initiated a conceptual change with the opening of a food import route that complies with European regulations and based on a declaration of legal marketing in Europe (proper importer in the European route). The leading principles are the adoption of European regulation (dozens of different regulations concerning food safety, food labeling, contaminants, etc.) that will create harmonization with European law, the transfer of responsibility for the integrity and safety of the products to the importer in accordance with what is customary in Europe, and giving the importer tools to carry out quality risk management and quality control processes on the products imported to Israel.

The obligation of the importer's direct contact with the manufacturer to a proper importer will be abolished, and on the other hand, the obligation to carry out risk management and quality control processes by the importer and the marketer will be imposed.
