What happened
Cameroon's National Agency for Standards and Quality (ANOR) reported that only 150 of 350 registered bakeries are certified. This means 200 establishments are operating without formal certification. The agency noted weaknesses in production facilities and hygiene practices across the sector.
Why it matters
The findings expose gaps in regulatory compliance within the food sector, which operates under regulated bread prices in Cameroon. The standards framework covers requirements for ingredients, manufacturing conditions, and consumer information.
