Résumé This Law consisting of 35 articles aims at ensuring food safety and quality. It establishes that the Jordanian Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) shall be the sole authority entrusted to supervise imported and local food in all of its stages. The role of the JFDA, through its Higher Committee, includes: enforcing health measures and the Jordanian technical regulations of locally produced or imported food; conducting tests on food for its compliance with the standard specifications; prohibiting the circulation or import of any food before being tested and proven suitable for human consumption (circulation is defined as all stages of food production, manufacturing, preparation, treatment, packaging, wrapping, processing, transporting, possessing, storing, distributing, offering to sell, sale, gifting or donating); granting health certificates for the purposes of exporting locally produced food; carrying out inspections on places in which food is circulated as well as inspecting the workers of such a place; and supervising the implementation of good manufacturing practises and risk analysis systems. The Food Law prohibits to import or to circulate any food within Jordan if it is adulterated, falsely described or food that is unfit for human consumption. Relating to the aforementioned cases the Director-General has the following powers: seizure of any adulterated foods or food with a false description, in preparation for its withdrawal and prohibiting its circulation; prevent the presentation of food that is in violation of health conditions or which is in danger of being contaminated; issue an order for the destruction of meat and its derivatives, dairy products of all types and any other type of food that is of fast decay or prone to spoilage, if it is proven by physical inspection that the food is spoiled. Where the food is imported, the Director-General must decide whether to re-export the food to the country which the food had been imported from.
