Who checks it at the Polish border
IJHARS: commercial quality and labels
Not on the listHeading 1902 is not on the IJHARS import list.
The importer notifies the regional IJHARS office (form SWW05, also online through PUESC). IJHARS checks documents, labelling and packaging and may take samples; there is no fee unless the product fails.
Sanepid: food safety
Some codes checkedOn the Sanepid list only for products without ingredients of animal origin. Egg noodles and noodles with meat or fish ingredients follow the composite-product route.
Veterinary inspection
Depends on the recipeSeasoning with meat powder or extract makes it a composite product with meat: approved origin, certificate and border check. Egg noodles normally need only a private attestation.
Also check
- Ethylene oxide is banned; it caused EU-wide recalls of instant noodles in 2021.
- Palm oil must be named as such in the Polish ingredient list.
