Genetically modified foods

Jordan regulates food products that contain genetically modified (GM) ingredients exceeding 5% of total food content.

Prior to the export of GM foods to Jordan, Canadian exporters should ensure that their Jordanian importer has submitted an application and received approval from the Jordan Food and Drug Administration for the import of GM food for human consumption. GM foods exported to Jordan which are not pre-approved could be rejected upon arrival.
