Bulgaria’s National Assembly adopted at second reading the entirely new Food Law without debates. The draft was approved at first reading in 2017. According to the new act, the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency will maintain on its website a national register of producers, processors and distributors of food and food additives, as well as of producers of bottled mineral and spring water.

The “Product of Bulgaria” designation on foods will guarantee that the main ingredient for their production is extracted on the territory of Bulgaria and that all stages of the production process take place in the country. Requirements for distance selling are regulated in the new act for the first time.
