Eliminate the SFA Label Approval Letter Requirement
Reform IDS560
DescriptionEliminate the requirement for food businesses to obtain a separate label approval letter from the Sindh Food Authority (SFA) for each product prior to market launch, on the basis that it lacks a clear statutory basis under the Sindh Food Authority Act, 2016, and no benchmark country (USA, Germany, Australia, India) requires prior label approval, businesses there are instead solely responsible for ensuring their labels comply with applicable labeling standards.
