Food Authority detects organic fluorinated compounds
The Reference Laboratory in Dammam, operated by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), has obtained international quality accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025 standards, making it the first national laboratory in the Middle East to develop and adopt an advanced analytical method for detecting organic fluorinated compounds in food. This achievement is a significant step toward enhancing food safety oversight in the Kingdom by enabling early and rapid detection of emerging chemical contaminants. The analysis covers more than 20 pollutants, including four compounds of global regulatory priority. This development reflects the Kingdom's commitment to elevating the quality and safety of food products and supporting the goals of Vision 2030 in community health and food safety.
