Dubai Central Laboratory, affiliated with Dubai Municipality, has developed an innovative examination and screening
system aimed at detecting byproducts of pork in processed meat products by using high concentrations of DNA
extracted from food products.

The launch of the new screening system comes in alignment with the constant efforts of Dubai Central Laboratory to
create an ideal ecosystem for laboratory tests. It also seeks to provide a comprehensive service that ensures maximum
efficiency and quality while adhering to the best international standards and specifications.

The system guarantees the safety and quality of food products available in the market, contributing to the sustainability
of the food system and enhancing Dubai’s reputation as the premier global destination for both work and living.

Hind Mahmoud Ahmed, Acting Director of the Dubai Central Laboratory Department at Dubai Municipality, asserted that
the new screen mechanism is developed systematically and continuously in line with the nature of food products and
materials that are available in the local market.

The new laboratory continues to provide flexible, highly accurate, proactive testing services that meet the needs of
customers. This aligns with the objectives of Dubai Municipality to establish a sustainable health and food ecosystem,
ensuring community protection against food risks and enhancing the overall quality of life in the emirate.

Enhancing Efficiency
Eng. Hind 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.
