KPK is striving hard to improve the living standards of its citizens and does not want to be left behind. As part of its efforts towards that goal, the provincial government has finally decided to set up a Food Safety and Halal Authority to ensure that the quality of food products being sold and produced in the market is high.
The Food Safety Authority has been set up under the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Food Safety and Halal Food Authority Act 2017. Standards, procedures, processes, and guidelines for food labeling, food additives, and other food-related enforcement will be formulated under it. The manufacture, distribution, and storage of the food around the province will also be monitored and regulated along with the regional sales and imports of food.
The central directorate of the Authority would be stationed in Peshawar, with seven divisions stationed across the province.
Food Categories
The food business is divided into 3 categories, according to the Food Safety and Halal Food Authority (K-PFSHFA) Director General Riaz Mehsud.
- Category A: enterprises dealing with margarine, vanaspati, fat spreads, halal animal fat, ghee, fish oil, edible oil, spices, cereal products, soft drinks, aerated water, fruits and vegetables, food additives and ingredients and cold storages.
- Category B: covers creameries, dairies, dairy farms, bakers, hotels, eateries and other small-scale food companies.
- Category C: food manufacturing units.
Three types of laboratories will be set up. These labs will also include scientific, appellate and medical sections that will be tasked to check the food products being produced and sold in the province, according to Mr. Mehsud.
He also informed that food quality will also be checked on the spot at the production units, eateries, and kitchens. As per the law, it is now mandatory for the food authority to issue licenses to food operators for every category.
With this step taken by the KPK government, it is hoped that food quality is maintained and monitored at all times.

Patwari found after a decade ! تمہیں کیا
PMLN govt after land reforms got Punjab land record digital and we see no more Patwaris in land departments.
But looks like PTI liked them a lot. But what word they will chose for themselves?
It can be drived by the knowledge that it’s leader is known to be an addict, father of a daughter he isn’t willing to accept as his daughter or it can drived from the music played in PTI jalsas.. M….
Well, I am NOT PTi Follower or Supporter, But I have to answer the idiot in his tone, so he understand.
First for your ignorance it isn’t a federal issue after 18th amendment.
2nd, appreciate that KPK is following footsteps of Punjab in development.
Third, there is a difference between fighting the so called judicial system and criticising judges who do selective justice. Don’t equate justice systems with judges who are biased just like you can’t equate a c0caine addict with a leader.
Well, I ignore your ignorance, any work, which involve “Pakistan or all provinces” is federal issue, what KPK did, none of my business.
Third, your own explanation does not required me to criticize, “so called judicial system” explained PML-N is fighting and Plan to fight in the future with System not just Judges and Generals.
Potians jis per tanqeed krte hain usi ki naqal bhi khub krte hain.
PTI naqal karte hain to #TumhainKya
Is tarhaan to Apple ne FaceID se Android ki naqal ki hai. KitKat se Android main yeh feature hai. Magar Apple ka FaceID Android se 1000 times better hai, Same with PTI. I’m sure they would be a thousand times better than the ones they criticized on! And even if they suck, BHAI JAAN #TumhainKya!!!!!
Wah Wah. I wish if a hash tag could win you an argument. LOL
Can you compare Apple with KPK govt?
It’s performance? You will be 16 years old doing that.
Please mention three projects which KPK govt copied and did them 1000 times better than Punjab.
I am still expecting you don’t live in lalaland.
They are business competitors not enemy, ( its normal in business) But IK is the worst enemy of NS.
