(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Dubai, UAE, February 04, 2024,
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.

Engineer 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. This
achievement stands alongside the laboratory's numerous successes in improving operations

and meeting objectives, which include the development and integration of globally accepted
standards for laboratory testing and calibration certificates,”.
