Producing food and Barcodes

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Producing food and Barcodes

Post by Dankman »

I used to make Peanut Butter here and was told that is now the law to have a registered Cambodian Barcode if selling perishable foods.

Who else has experienced this ?

I see a certain Pickle man here is in denial and will no doubt face hefty fines when the authorities find out he has products on the shelves without registering with the Cambodian Chamber of Commerce....Not to mention he doesn't have a permit to work.

What a silly Pickleman.
