2016年8月22日，埃及农业部颁布一项法令，规定埃及不再接受有麦角真菌的小麦进口。
近期公布的第1421/2016号农业部法令，强调了埃及对小麦进口的要求，并且对存有麦角真菌的进口小麦出台零容忍政策。小麦货物在卸货前，必须通过埃及检疫机构的最终检验，在等待货物分析结果期间，也不能储入仓库，甚至于货物存有非常轻微的麦角菌，也将遭致被拒。

Egypt Enforces Zero-Tolerance for Ergot in Wheat
An Egyptian agricultural ministry decree of 22 August 2016 states that the country will no longer accept imported wheat containing traces of the ergot fungus.
The recently published ministerial decree No.1421/2016 strengthens Egypt’s requirements concerning wheat imports and introduces a zero tolerance for the presence of the ergot fungus in imported wheat. Wheat cargoes can no longer be discharged prior to passing a final inspection by the Egyptian quarantine agency, not even to a warehouse pending the results of a cargo analysis, and even the slightest trace of ergot in a cargo will lead to the cargo being rejected.
