Date of Publishing: 04/01/2026                    Affected Region: Egypt   

Egypt’s National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) issued Decision No. 1/2025, introducing updated requirements for the handling, labeling, and importation of genetically modified (GMO) foods. 

The decision applies to products containing more than 1% GMO content and mandates clear “Genetically Modified (GM)” labeling. It also strengthens import documentation requirements, including certificates confirming free sale, GMO content percentage, product safety, and compliant labeling, alongside full supply-chain traceability. NFSA will enforce compliance through regular and unannounced inspections, with a six-month transition period granted to producers and importers before full enforcement begins.
