Responding to inquiries from citizens following rumors that food in Jordan is unsafe for consumption, President of the NSCP Muhammad Obeidat stated: “The decisive factor in this matter (food safety) is the results of objective scientific studies through which we can ascertain if our food is safe, sound and suitable for human consumption or otherwise.”
Obeidat called on the concerned authorities to implement awareness and guidance campaigns to educate citizens on healthy and safe food.
Earlier this month, officials from the Jordan Chamber of Industry, the
Jordan Chamber of Commerce, and the Jordan Pharmacists Association refuted claims by the previous director of the
Jordan Food and Drug Administration’s laboratories, Sara Gammoh, regarding the alleged presence of carcinogenic substances in Jordanian food. They assured that food in the Kingdom is safe and undergoes a rigorous monitoring process.
