General information
Spaghetti/Pasta will be made from durum wheat meal mixed with water only. Pasta made with other type of flours or with additives are not described here.
Different types of pasta are distributed in our food supply operations: long pasta, short pasta, noodles, etc.
Type of pasta has to be determined considering beneficiaries’ food habits (i.e. in some countries spaghetti is not well accepted because it is unsuitable to local cooking habits).
Importation of food is always subject to acceptance from the national authorities, based on their national specifications; check these before purchasing.
Impact on the local, national, or regional market availability and prices should be carefully looked at before purchasing large quantities.
