A new examination and screening system can now accurately identify the presence of pork byproducts in processed meat products.
Khaleej Times reported that the technology guarantees rapid and precise results, providing outcomes within a day and facilitating up to 100 tests per hour.
The Dubai Central Laboratory has incorporated an innovative laboratory test that employs heightened concentrations of DNA or genetic material extracted from food items.
Furthermore, customers can access environmental sample tests, covering both bottled and non-bottled drinking water samples, to ensure the absence of disease-causing bacteria in these samples.
Engineer Hind Mahmoud Ahmed, acting Director of the Dubai Central Laboratory Department at Dubai Municipality, said, "The new system was created in microbiological laboratories, and it has made all traded products more trustworthy by detecting pork byproduct residues with an efficiency that is about 100 times higher than that of conventional examination procedures."
She reiterates the ability of the technology to quickly detect diverse bacteria, yeasts, and fungi linked to the quality of food products and microbial contaminants, which plays a crucial role in improving flexibility, productivity, and the overall screening process.
Customers can utilise the microbiology analysis laboratory services provided by Dubai Central Laboratory.
These services include examining food product quality and safety, nutritional supplements, food contact materials (FCMs), and estimations of food product expiry dates.
