In Article 12, a new paragraph is added, stipulating that the Food and Nutrition Authority, in collaboration with relevant national authorities, is committed to establishing laboratories for inspecting imported food products at all entry points, including land, air, and sea ports. This amendment is driven by the significance of imported food, which constitutes a significant portion of citizens' daily consumption. It is crucial to ensure that these products are thoroughly examined before entering the country, thereby preventing any potential harm or contamination. The presence of inspection laboratories at border crossings streamlines the process and safeguards the integrity of these food products during their transportation to internal testing facilities and storage.
