This meeting should be attended by all food manufacturers and importers as well as retailers of food products. This meeting is convened to discuss how you can ensure your voice is heard. This matter can have extensive impact on all of those who operate in this sector as the standard will impose new measures without the necessary "Regulatory Impact Assessment" having not been carried. 

Join the Chamber team with Dr. Alison Gajadhar, a former Director of the St. Lucia Bureau of Standard as we explain the implications and the potential impact on your business and consumers. Dr. Gajadhar has been representing the Chamber at the regional level on this matter and is making herself available to share her expertise with you.

It is important that you also, complete the below ballot form to NOT support the adoption of this standard, as it does not address our concerns regarding:

  • Front of Label Packaging
  • The exemption of 'Repackaged foods' from the overall scope of the standard, and 
  • GMO labelling (to a lesser extent)

It is imperative that as many members send in their ballot sheet to the SLBS by March 26th - so that we could influence the National position of SLU on the regional level, with respect to this draft regional standard. 

Grateful if you would have the office circulate this - and if you can arrange a quick zoom meeting with all our importers and producers of food - I would be more than happy to facilitate this meeting!
