Labeling & Marking Requirements
Last published date:

In May 2011, Cameroon adopted a framework on consumer protection.  According to this law, the packaging of any product sold must comply with the standard on the labelling of pre-packaged foods in Cameroon.  These standards are guaranteed by the National Agency for Norms and Quality.  Cameroon works with the Food and Agricultural Organization to ensure compliance with the Codex Alimentarius standards and guidelines on food labelling and packaging.  The Codex Alimentarius is a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines, and other recommendations relating to foods, food production, and food safety.
