The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition has reassured the public that food supplies in the country remain safe and plentiful following an inspection of key import and testing facilities. Dr. Shaima Al-Asfour, Deputy Director General for Community Nutrition Affairs and the authority’s official spokesperson, conducted an inspection tour of the Sulaibiya border crossing and the Sulaibiya laboratory to review procedures for examining food shipments entering the State of Kuwait. During the visit, she assessed the workflow and monitoring mechanisms in place to ensure that all imported food products meet safety and quality standards before being released into the local market. Al-Asfour affirmed that food stocks in the country are sufficient and that the food situation in Kuwait remains safe and stable. She attributed this stability to continuous oversight and strict inspection measures carried out by the authority to safeguard the quality and safety of food supplies. The inspection tour forms part of the authority’s ongoing efforts to maintain high standards of food safety and reassure consumers that all necessary measures are being taken to protect public health.
