Hygiene and food safety Jordan
European Union

The Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) was established in 2003 to protect public health and consumer interests in the area of food safety and hygiene. It received support from the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration between 2005 and 2007 and later from the European Union in order to attain the EU best practices in the field of laboratory accreditation.
This specific technical assistance was designed to streamline the fragmented food control responsibilities between the JFDA and all other government ministries and institutions and to enhance the technical and managerial capacities of inspection laboratories in the Greater Amman Municipality.
