The case started with an initial investigation and dawn raid by NFSA and seizure and testing of goods. The investigations resulted in the authorities bringing a criminal prosecution against the company and the court charging the company\u2019s director with imprisonment and fines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the appeal stage, we managed to get full acquittal for the company\u2019s directors and substantive discharge of liability for the company. Our defence strategy relied on scrutinizing the actions of the investigating body to ensure they do not act outside their remit as well as proving due diligence and compliance with food safety regulations. We successfully convinced the court that the company has carried out all reasonable checks on its products and it was reasonable for it to rely on the checks carried out by NFSA at the importation stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riad &amp; Riad has a team of specialist regulatory and litigation lawyers who provide advice and representation to businesses facing food safety and food hygiene investigations and prosecutions. Breaches of food safety laws can lead to significant penalties and in the most serious of cases, custodial sentences as well as adverse publicity. It is therefore important to protect your business and reputation with advice from food law specialists before you take any action.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For assistance or any needed advice, please contact our partner <a href=\"https:\/\/riad-riad.com\/attorney\/dr-fatma-sala\/\">Dr. Fatma Salah<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riad &amp; Riad has successfully defended a multinational food manufacturing company in food safety prosecutions involving breach of Food Control Law, the Fraud Combating Law and the National Food Safety laws and regulations.
