The ministry’s Undersecretary for livestock affairs, HamadAl-Batshan, said in a press statement today that the ban came after an examination on a sample of the Egyptian imported Guava was conducted.

The Saudi official pointed out that the examination was carried out jointly by the ministry and the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) in a move to support the implementation of the nation-wide programme to monitor the residues of pesticides in all kinds of imported vegetables and fruits to the Saudi markets.
