The public is reminded of the ongoing certification of labels and its attendant inspection programme by the Grenada Bureau of Standards.
Technical regulations for the labelling of prepackaged goods and prepackaged foods apply to both imported and locally manufactured products. It is the responsibility of any person who manufactures, sells or distributes any pre-packaged good or food to ensure that the products are appropriately labelled and the labels are in English.
We encourage consumers to refrain from purchasing goods or foods that are not correctly labelled and to report these items to the Grenada Bureau of Standards. Our contact numbers are (473) 440-5886/6783. We can also be contacted via our Whatsapp number (473) 405-5886. Additionally, complaints and inquiries can be sent via our email address [email protected] or through our website, www.gdbs.gd.
As we are in the Christmas season, we wish everyone safe holidays and look forward to continued support in the new year.

This is all such a joke. I could start with the new many versions of corned beef with most other than the traditional Target, Grade etc. without any English at all.
Imagine having “4 Latest News & Events” on their website, the last of which was from October. Guess nothing rally happens here of Consumer importance, creating consumer confidence and assisting in public safety, especially health safety. Go back in allyuh shell.
Sounds great just by reading their intentions but in reality this is not the case mostly for locally produced goods.
Imported goods should and will comply because of the procedures in place in order to get them into the country
Now we have a complete different approach to home/locally produced goods as our so called inspectors need an internal inspection first to rid the department of the incompetence ones.
That department need a complete overhaul in order to make it accountable.
