The Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA) has granted a six-month period for food products to be labeled according to new regulations. Under these rules, food must be packaged in designated food-grade materials, and single-use plastic bottles are now prohibited for packaging. Importing or producing food with misleading labels is an offense, with penalties ranging from MVR 10,000 to MVR 750,000.
