He stated that they are bred and nourished under health
supervision, without any risks that affect their quality.
Mahidat highlighted that the FDA, in cooperation with the
Ministry of Agriculture have conducted inspections with specialized inspects at
several fish farms across various parts of the Kingdom to assess its quality.
They found no violations to support the rumors about fish
being fed poultry waste.
Furthermore, Mahidat mentioned that as the official entity
responsible for the safety, health, and quality of food in the Kingdom, the
role of the administration in monitoring fish begins after they leave the farms
and enter the markets where farmed fish are traded.
He noted that the regulatory teams of the administration
conducted field visits and surveys of the local market, performing sensory
examinations to determine the freshness and absence of any signs of corruption
in the fish.
He emphasized the FDA’s commitment to collaborative work and
mutual cooperation with various food-related entities to achieve common
national goals, including achieving food security and preserving consumer
health.
