Yes: the production and trading units and establishments that handle unprocessed foods register with VISAR's Food Safety Directorate through an online system; the electronic list recorded 602 georeferenced establishments (the page carries no cut-off date — its currency needs checking). The framework regulation is Government Agreement 969-99, the Food Safety Regulation (30 December 1999), with competences shared between MAGA and MSPAS under the regulation itself (text available on FAOLEX).

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
