Philippine meat processors will no longer need to secure a license from the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD), but need only to get accreditation from the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) once the administrative order to eliminate the functional overlap is signed.

Processors and traders will benefit from the new system, which will give the NMIS sole jurisdiction over meat establishments, including licensing, registration and certification of meat products.
