President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu ratified the Food Safety Bill on Thursday, granting the Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA) the authority to conduct testing on food imported into the country.
The bill was first put forward to the parliament during former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's administration in 2021 and was studied at committee level by the parliament's Committee of Social Affairs for three years, making it the longest studied bill of the 19th Parliament.
