Yes, Arabic labelling is a legal requirement in Egypt. Article 6 of the Consumer Protection Law states that suppliers must place all required data on commodities in Arabic, in clear and easy-to-read writing. The required information is determined by Egyptian standard specifications, the law itself, or its executive regulations.
This means that imported products sold in Egypt must carry Arabic labelling covering details such as the product's nature, essential characteristics, origin, and any safety information. As an expat, while you may prefer English-language packaging, suppliers are legally obligated to ensure Arabic labelling is present and legible.
If you purchase a product with missing, unclear, or misleading labelling, this may also intersect with Article 9, which prohibits deceptive behaviour by suppliers regarding the nature or features of a commodity. You can report non-compliant products to the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA).
