The Tanzania Bureau of Standards is urging food producers to meet quality and safety requirements before products go on sale. Acting regional manager Cyril Kimario said the move should protect consumers and boost the competitiveness of Tanzanian products, according to HabariLeo.
The Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) has called on food producers to comply with quality standards to protect consumers’ health and strengthen the competitiveness of the country’s products. Cyril Kimario, acting manager of the TBS Eastern Zone, made the appeal during World Food Day celebrations in Usagara, in the Tanga Region, HabariLeo reports.
The event enabled the agency to meet producers and explain the requirements applicable at different stages of production, Cyril Kimario said. The TBS aims to improve access for Tanzanian products to domestic, regional and international markets. Entrepreneurs can also benefit from free tests offered by Tanzania’s TBS.
