On 14 June 2019 New Business Ethiopia reported that the national food and drugs regulatory authority had banned several food products and brands from the market, including cooking oils and children’s foods, for failing to meet safety standards.
The enforcement note presented the bans as a consumer-protection action against non-compliant imports and local products rather than as a temporary shortage measure.
Kept as consumer-safety archive, the New Business Ethiopia report dates a mid-2019 food-brand crackdown by Ethiopia’s regulator.
