Amman, June 21 (Petra) — The Jordan Food and Drug Administration
(JFDA) has stressed the need to obtain prior approval before
providing or distributing any food items as donations by any entity,

In a statement issued on Sunday, the JFDA said that prior
authorization is required to ensure that food products are handled in
accordance with approved health and safety regulations governing the
distribution, transportation, and storage of food items.

The administration noted that it is monitoring compliance with these
requirements and warned that the necessary legal and administrative
measures will be taken against violators in cooperation with the
Ministry of Social Development, the General Union of Voluntary
Societies, and other relevant authorities.
