The Consumer Protection and Competition Defense Authority of Panama (Acodeco) uses reactive test strips to verify the quality of oils and fats used in food frying. These tests are carried out with the aim of ensuring that products meet established quality and food safety standards.
According to statements from Acodeco, it is essential to ensure that edible oils and fats comply with current regulations to protect consumer health. In this regard, conducting periodic quality controls of these products is crucial to prevent potential health risks arising from their consumption.
"The verification of the state of the oils and fats used in food preparation is a priority task to ensure food safety for the population," said a representative of Acodeco. "By using reactive test strips, we can quickly and efficiently detect possible irregularities in the quality of the oils, which allows us to take the necessary measures to protect consumers."
In this regard, Acodeco urges establishments and businesses that use oils and fats in their cooking processes to comply with established quality and food hygiene regulations, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of consumers. The implementation of periodic controls and the adoption of preventive measures contribute to preserving public health and providing safe food to the population.
