FDA Provides Free Olive Oil Tests in Amman and Irbid
The Jordan Food and Drug Administration announced that free tests for olive oil will be provided at their laboratories in Shafa Badran and Irbid to verify its quality and suitability for consumption, in line with the production season. The tests are based on precise laboratory indicators, including acidity measurements and fatty acid concentration, emphasizing that factors such as the oil's color or freezing do not determine its quality. The institution inspected 155 olive oil presses before the start of the production season and continues its monitoring efforts throughout the season to ensure compliance with standards and guidelines. They also emphasize the importance of the quality label, which includes information such as the press name, weight, and a recommendation to discard the oil after use. The director urged citizens to purchase olive oil from monitored markets and to take advantage of the free testing services, regardless of where they buy the oil.
