Video: Insects found in tea bags in Saudi Arabia

 The Saudi Food and Drug Authority has taken swift action in response to public concerns sparked by a video depicting an individual scrutinizing the contents of a tea bag under a microscope.

The video brought to light the presence of impurities, organisms, and insects within the tea bag’s components, elements that are not easily discernible to the naked eye.

The circulating video raised doubts about its authenticity, leading to inquiries directed at the Food and Drug Authority to ascertain its accuracy.

Addressing the concerns, the authority affirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety of products in the market. They are actively engaged in monitoring these products, undertaking the collection of samples for thorough analysis to confirm adherence to established specifications and regulations.

To enforce compliance, the authority has pledged to impose penalties on violators, and products failing to meet standards will be promptly withdrawn from the market.

In addition to these measures, the Food and Drug Authority has called upon the public to play an active role in safeguarding consumer interests. They encourage individuals to report any products they find suspicious or that have resulted in adverse side effects.
