The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition (PAFN) has called for imposing a ban on all imports of several kinds of protein bars for including non-halal ingredients.
In a press statement Sunday, the PAFN Secretary General Adel Al-Suwait said the authority singled out Snickers, Mars, Bounty and Milky Way protein bars for the ban.
He pointed that the authority has found that these products had non-halal ingredients.
The PAFN has also proposed banning imports of all kinds of processed or unprocessed ruminant meats from Kazakhstan due to the recent outbreak of the anthrax infection.
Meanwhile, the authority advised lifting the ban on imports of goat, cow, and lamb meats from Kyrgyzstan after the end of an anthrax outbreak.
It also recommended ending the ban on imports of poultry and its products from the southwestern Russian region of Rostov Oblast after the deadly outbreak of the bird flu there ceased.
