PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE

Morocco: product dossier priorities

For Morocco, use the same technical reference dossier for supplied Arabic and French packaging versions. Collect flavour, vinegar and compound-ingredient details for sauces or seasonings, then separately confirm local language and import-document requirements.

Morocco: separate instruments for label fields

ONSSA’s product-conformity page lists Decree 2-12-389 for general labelling and separate instruments for nutrition information, ingredient naming, net quantity and lot identification. A Moroccan package should therefore not be reviewed from one generic guide alone. Link product naming and ingredients, the nutrition-panel format and quantity/lot information to separate sources. The list is a starting point for locating the applicable texts; read product exceptions and amendment chains separately.

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.
