SFDA warns against Jibal Faifa bottled drinking water
RIYADH - The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has warned against the use of bottled drinking water from Jibal Faifa Water Factory in Sabya Governorate as it contains high level of bromate.The factory is owned by Jazan Development Company ( Jazadco ) in Jazan region.
SFDA has written to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry 's Agency for Consumer Affairs and the Sabya Governorate Municipality to take necessary measures to stop the production of this bottled drinking water and withdraw it from the market.
SFDA is monitoring all bottled drinking water factories to check bromate level.
The Authority said necessary measures would be taken against violating factories.
Bromate in drinking water is undesirable because it is a suspected human carcinogen. The US Environmental Protection Agency developed a level that it considers protective of non-cancer health effects from long-term exposure to bromate.
