Arab Foods in International Trade

The MENA Region has good export potential for
processed food products, they are constrained by
high trade barriers in many developed countries
 For instance, from January to June 2001, 27% of
food exports from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and
Syria to the United States were rejected by the
USFDA due to non-compliance with the U.S.
safety measures (filth, microbiological
contamination, greater than permitted levels of
pesticide residues or food additives) and 58%
due to labeling problems
MEFOSA 2006

Limited surveillance information
 Egypt periodic reports on outbreaks; tourist illnesses rarely
documented
 Some outbreaks
 Local, e.g., a cake with Salmonella Typhi in Saudi Arabia;
botulism in Egypt from uneviscerated fish, US forces with
locally provided boxed lunches (undetermined agent)
 Specific studies
 School meals in Bahrain
 Echinococcosis in Palestinian Arabs: Christian, Druze and

Surveillance Weaknesses in Many Countries
Outdated food laws, standards and regulations
 No centralized approach or coordination among
departments and agencies to food control with
jurisdictional confusion and overlap
 Lack of adequately trained personnel
 Limited capacity for food control laboratories
 Food industry is familiar with terms like GMPs,
GHPs and HACCP systems but has not ability or
will to do these


Surveillance Weaknesses in Some Countries
Countries cannot compete effectively in the
export market to be in compliance with the SPS
agreement
 Conflict between public health objectives and
facilitation of trade and industry development

inputs in decision-making processes
