KUWAIT: Secretary general of the supreme food safety committee at the Public Authority for Food and Nutrition Adel Al-Suwait said that the committee's first meeting in 2020 came up with a number of recommendations to achieve food safety. The committee's recommendations include banning the import of all fresh, chilled, frozen and manufactured poultry products and eggs, except those treated at 70 degrees centigrade, from India, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and the Czech Republic because of the spread of bird flu there.
The recommendations also include banning the import of all fresh, chilled, frozen and manufactured ruminant products, except those treated at 70 degrees centigrade, from Libya because of the spread of Rift Valley fever disease.
