Maastricht becomes fruit and veg inspection point

[ March 11, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

Maastricht Aachen Airport has been officially designated as an approved inspection location for Products of Non-Animal Origin by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. It follows a comprehensive audit by the NVWA and confirmation by the European Commission and permits mandatory inspections of plant-based goods to take place directly on-site at MST. By conducting official controls at the point of arrival, the airport can now release shipments that previously required transit to other locations for inspection and expand its list of permitted products and countries of origin.
