## Scope of this guide

Includes jurisdiction-specific archive records. Current legal effect, labelling provisions and product exceptions require separate verification.

PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE

## Suriname: product dossier priorities

For Suriname, match Dutch product information to the English supplier specification. Expand soy and spice components in a rice sauce to review allergen consistency across multilingual packaging.

## Jurisdiction-specific legislation records

Archive dates do not confirm current legal effect. Titles retain their source language; this selection is not exhaustive.

<table><thead><tr><th scope="col">Instrument / source</th><th scope="col">Record date and type</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th scope="row"><a href="https://leap.unep.org/en/countries/sr/national-legislation/act-january-28-2021-containing-rules-regarding-protection-food">Act of January 28, 2021, containing rules regarding the protection of food safety and the establishment of the National Institute for Food Safety Suriname.</a></th><td>2021-01-28<br>Legislation</td></tr><tr><th scope="row"><a href="https://leap.unep.org/en/countries/sr/national-legislation/order-ministry-agriculture-livestock-and-fisheries-concerning-0">Order of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries concerning rules for the use of food additives in the preparation of fish products (Food Additives Order) (SB No. 14 of 2002).</a></th><td>2002-02-21<br>Regulation</td></tr></tbody></table>

## 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.

**Packaging, recipe and evidence in one review dossier.**Knowing which product version a finding concerns matters as much as the correction itself. Maintain file and revision tracking throughout the assignment.

## 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.
