 By the end of this month, Dubai Central Lab (DCL) will introduce a new device to test bigger food samples and ensure public safety, officials said. Dubai Municipality has to test food to ensure it's free of pesticides and fit for consumption.

Speaking to the Khaleej Times, Amin Ahmed Amin, director of DCL, said the device will allow authorities to inspect bigger shipments of fruits and vegetables reaching up to 600 types of samples a day. "Our current system takes in up to 260 kinds. The new device, operated by latest technology, will offer different types of inspections," said Amin.

Amin said the device will detect different types of chemicals in imported fruits and vegetables more accurately and quickly
