Challenges faced in Meat and Animal
Products Control System

The control of animal products and food safety is
important in Lao PDR which is accelerating in
food production and processing.
 The adaptation of the manufactured foods to the
international standards of safety, quality and
labeling require more complete food analysis
and an extended system of supervision.
 The adherence to the international regulations
and standards and to the good manufacturing
practices is a main concern.
Challenges faced in Meat and Animal
Products Control System
 lack
of the necessary regulatory tools.
 Currently, just only some regulation and
decree related to food control exist to
address food safety problems,
 and lack of food inspectors and facilities
and limited food analysis capacities.
