There are different provisions regarding labeling depending on the products to be labeled. In general, country of origin labeling is mandatory for products subject to compliance control, as well as for food and pharmaceutical products. Specifically, the legislation provides that food and pharmaceutical products must necessarily have the label in Arabic. At this point, particular attention should be paid to the Iraqi discipline applied to food products. The specific requirements for prepackaged and canned foods are described in the technical standard IQS / 230/1989. This is a provision drawn up in 1973 and updated in 1978 by the COSQC (Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control) on the basis of a careful study by the Technical Commission for the standardization of dairy products and canned foods. The labeling requirements for imported food products are as follows: name of the food, list of ingredients, net content and drained weight (metric), name and address of the manufacturer / packager / distributor / importer / exporter / seller, country of origin, batch identification, production date and storage instructions, instructions for use (relating to the preparation and consumption of the food). However, the nutritional declarations of ingredients and the indication of expiration dates through the use of adhesives (labels) are not allowed. The production date and expiry date must be indicated in a specific order, namely: day, month and year.
