Flour imported from Israel will come under strict restrictions imposed by the Palestinian Ministry of National Economyto ensure the product meets standards set by the Palestine Standards Institution.Ah, so Israeli flour is not up to Palestinian quality standards. And it is so dangerous, it must be dumped and not, for example, shipped to starving Palestinians in Yarmouk.
Israeli flour that isn't enriched with the vitamins and nutrients required by PSI would be banned in the Palestinian market, the ministry said in a statement Tuesday.
"Legal procedures will be taken against merchants who have flour which does not meet the required specifications," the statement said, adding that the move was taken to protect Palestinian consumers.
The statement added that inspectors in cooperation with the Ministry of Health discovered stockpiled flour which failed to meet the required specifications.
The flour has been confiscated and dumped and legal procedures were taken against the owners, according to the statement.
Because, they care.
In case you are interested in Palestinian flour standards, the best I could find was this document from 2005.
