Ministry issues statement on Dahabi flour

Muscat: The Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources, represented by the Food Safety and Quality Centre, said it has followed what has been circulated on social media about the presence of plastic in Dahabi’s flour (Gold 2).

In a statement issued online, the Ministry said: “We conducted laboratory analyzes on flour, and the results showed that the product was fit for human consumption and it was free of plastic.”

“As laboratory tests have proven that flour contains gluten, a protein of flour, which is a natural substance in flour that helps the flour to stick together,” the statement added.
