 Lebanese Association for Food Safety (LAFS) is officially affiliated with the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP), the biggest and most prominent international organization for food protection worldwide. LAFS joined 49 other associations around the world in such an affiliation and is proudly the first and only organization in the Middle Eastern region to be accepted by IAFP to form this affiliate in only one year after it has been established!

 

 

 
About Us

The Lebanese Association for Food Safety was established at the end of 2010 by a group of young and dedicated scientists who believe that Lebanese citizens deserve safe food and water. We also believe that it is no longer acceptable for thousands of Lebanese and tourists to fall victims to the failures in food safety every year as a result of ignorance, lack of awareness, poor practices and unsafe conditions in the food industry.

 
Our mission is to educate, inform and empower Lebanese consumers about food safety issues, to protect them against the dangers of unsafe food, and to raise the safety standards of the food industry and the food supply chain in Lebanon to internationally acceptable levels. 
 
Our Goals
 
- To create awareness about food safety issues, hazards, problems, and solutions
- To inform members of the public about their rights and responsibilities , and to protect members of the public from food related dangers that arise from ignorance, abuse, neglect and poor practices. 
- To hold the food industry and related players accountable to the highest scientific standards in relation to food safety in the areas of manufacturing, packaging, purchasing, preparing, marketing, and selling food products to consumers.
- To empower Lebanese food exporters by providing them with the knowledge, skills and expertise to ensure that their products meet the standards and requirements in international markets. 
- To conduct scientific research and publish credible data and reports on the state and development of the Lebanese food sector. 
- To lobby for the legislation of modern laws and regulations that protect the rights of consumers and that establish clear and reliable standards for the industry.
