Amman, Aug 11 (Petra) – The Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) personnel, in cooperation with the Royal Department for Environmental Protection, have shut down an illegal chocolate production site operating in a residential area south of Amman.
In a statement on Monday, the JFDA said its inspectors found raw materials for chocolate production on the premises, including oils, dyes and flavorings without proper labeling, as well as empty containers, labels and a machine for affixing them to packages.
The seized items were confiscated and destroyed in line with regulations before reaching the local market, the statement said. Authorities have begun legal proceedings against those responsible for the site.
The JFDA reaffirmed that it is continuing inspection campaigns as part of its summer monitoring plan in ongoing efforts to ensure the flow of safe and wholesome food to consumers.
