  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On May 29, 2014, the South African Minister of Health issued a Government Notice (R429) inviting comments on the proposed amendments to the regulations relating to the labelling and advertising of foods. The official deadline for the submission of comments or representations on the proposed regulations to the Director General of Health is August, 29, 2014. According to media reports and post contacts, responses to the proposed regulation have been mixed. Post encourages United States food businesses to review this proposed regulation and submit comments/representations to the Department of Health as it is anticipated that the regulation could result in an unfair and an uneven playing field, and could impact United States exports and food businesses.
