The draft proposes approving specific rules:

pre-slaughter veterinary inspection of animals and carcass inspection;

inspection of fish and fish products;

examination of milk and dairy products;

veterinary and sanitary examination of eggs.

The ministry notes that Kyrgyzstan currently lacks a systematically regulated procedure for conducting such inspections. This creates the risk of uneven application of legislation and reduces the effectiveness of food safety monitoring.

The explanatory note emphasizes that animal-origin products are considered high-risk due to potential biological and chemical contamination, as well as the possible presence of antibiotics, hormonal drugs, and GMO-related components.

The ministry states that the new rules are intended to strengthen food safety oversight and prevent unsafe products from reaching the market.
