The Food Safety Committee under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan operates on the basis of the requirements of the effective laws of the Republic of Tajikistan "On Veterinary Medicine", "On Food Safety", and "On Consumer Rights Protection", as well as other regulatory legal acts adopted for the health of society. To ensure public health and provide the population with access to safe food products, the Committee conducts daily monitoring and public awareness activities at public catering outlets, retail shops, and consumer markets.
In addition, the Food Safety Committee respectfully requests all citizens of the republic, on the eve of Idi Qurbon (Eid al-Adha), to cooperate with the specialists of the Committee's sub-structures in provinces, cities, and districts, as well as with veterinary specialists within town and village jamoats (municipalities), in order to prevent the population from contracting any infectious (zoonotic) diseases. Citizens are requested to have the livestock intended for slaughter inspected prior to sacrifice and to carry out the slaughtering only at designated locations.
