Iran signs MoU with Netherlands for food safety
20 Aug. 2018
Iran and the Netherlands have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation within the framework of a food safety program. The MoU was signed between Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBUMS) and the Netherlands’ Wageningen University & Research. Two other MoUs will be signed in the field of scientific research and technology transfer to prevent food fraud. As per the MoU, a training course for food and drug control laboratories will be held at SBUMS in cooperation with Iran’s Food and Drug Administration (IFDA), and the Rikilt Institute of food safety affiliated to the Wageningen University to promote food standards throughout the country. The cooperation first started with co-running courses with participation of Wageningen university scientists, which is currently ongoing with joint research projects, student exchange and holding workshops.
