The Iraqi Ministry of Trade on Sunday denied reports alleging the presence of \u201cpoisoned wheat\u201d in the country\u2019s grain reserves or local produce, confirming that all stored quantities are safe and meet approved national standards.<\/p>\n
In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the ministry said, \u201cThe claims about the presence of poisoned wheat within the warehouses of the State Company for Grain Trading or in the wheat delivered by farmers are completely baseless.\u201d<\/p>\n
It added that \u201call quantities of grain received undergo thorough laboratory testing at every stage of receipt, storage, and distribution, conducted by specialized technical teams from quality control and inspection departments, under the direct supervision of relevant regulatory authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Iraqi Ministry of Trade stressed that \u201cspreading such claims without relying on scientific evidence or official technical reports misleads public opinion and undermines the efforts of national staff working to ensure Iraq\u2019s food security.\u201d<\/p>\n
It also urged \u201caccuracy in media statements and reliance on official sources before circulating information that could harm the reputation of state institutions and shake citizens\u2019 confidence in the safety of national food supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement concluded by affirming that \u201cgrain stocks in all storage sites are safe, sound, and fully compliant with approved specifications,\u201d noting that the ministry continues to cooperate with oversight authorities to uphold the highest standards of quality and safety across\u00a0all\u00a0operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
