The Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA) has granted businesses a six-month grace period to adjust products that are already packaged and labeled to comply with new regulations on food packaging and labeling. Businesses have been informed to amend products currently in the market to align with the regulations within this period. Importing and selling food products with labels that obscure their origin is prohibited under these new regulations. Failure to comply can result in significant fines, including up to one million Rufiyaa for health risks and penalties for misleading labels.
