Scope of this guide
Includes an application note linked to official sources, not a completed regulatory review for every product category.
PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE
Afghanistan: product dossier priorities
For Afghanistan, the first comparison connects the distributor specification, original manufacturer label and any supplied Dari or Pashto text to the same recipe. Documents for oils, gelatin, flavours and compound ingredients from different suppliers should be consolidated under one product code. The required language and import-document version are matters to confirm in writing with the local contact.
Afghanistan: distinguish the archive from implementation
FAOLEX’s Afghanistan food records include a Food Safety Act dated 19 July 2016. AFDA separately publishes an official page for legislation concerning prevention of smuggling of foodstuffs, medicines and health products. These are not the same instrument or procedure. A historical food-law record alone does not verify current administrative practice; confirm the applicable text and product procedures within the import dossier. Comparing supplied Dari/Pashto wording with the label is a technical review; this page does not declare a particular language combination mandatory for every food.
Jurisdiction-specific legislation records
Archive dates do not confirm current legal effect. Titles retain their source language; this selection is not exhaustive.

How is the label review dossier prepared?
Collect artwork, recipe, allergen evidence and importer details for the same product version. Our working method explains the shared document-preparation and reporting steps.
Document preparation and working method
Label review: evidence and findings table
| Review scope | Evidence reviewed | Report output |
|---|---|---|
| Product name and class | Recipe, product form, intended use | Correct sources and review scope |
| Ingredients and allergens | Sub-ingredients, supplier and cross-contact records | Comparison of label text and evidence |
| Nutrition and claims | Analysis or calculation, serving, front wording | Data basis and claim evidence |
| Language and layout | Every face, local wording and supplementary label | Missing-information and readability findings |
| Import and traceability | Importer, lot, dates and shipment version | Document needs and local confirmation questions |
Sources and research method
Sources are selected research references. An archive record does not confirm current legal effect; national adoption of Codex texts requires separate verification.
