Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The amendment to the Law establishes various relief measures for importers and regarding food import. The amendment also expanded the adoption of European law regarding food in Israel, based on a risk-management approach undertaken by the food business operator, and among other things adopted European directives and regulations on various matters such as food labeling, including allergen labeling, gluten labeling, nutritional labeling, and attribution of claims to food, provisions regarding food additives and flavoring and fragrance substances, provisions regarding food packaging and materials coming into contact with food, provisions regarding mineral water, and additional provisions regarding food safety. Under the amendment, until 31 December 2027 the new European provisions will apply only in a limited manner to importers from Europe and to food businesses that have their own food safety control systems and chose to adopt them, and provisions were established to prevent duplication and conflict with Israeli law. It was also determined that a professional advisory committee will be established that may allow use beyond what is permitted in Europe. In addition, relief measures were established in the mechanism for updating the provisions adopted from Europe.
