The Minister of Economy and Trade, Amer Al-Bassat, issued a decision to re-permit the trading of the “Baladi Labneh” product, which bears the “Zaman Farms” trademark, in the Lebanese markets. The Ministry explained, in a statement, that the decision came after a period of suspension of circulation of the product, and based on the results of laboratory analyzes conducted on samples of local labneh packaged by the “Valez LLC” company in Mazboud - Chouf, and produced by the “Al-Shaqour” factory in Barja. She confirmed that the laboratory results proved that the product conforms to the approved Lebanese standard specifications, especially from the bacterial standpoint, in addition to being free of any vegetable oils or starch. The Ministry stressed that “this measure comes out of its constant keenness to protect the consumer and preserve public health and safety.”
