Jazan Development Co earns NSF international bottled water certification

NSF International, an independent, not-for-profit public health organization that certifies products and writes standards for food, water and consumer goods, has awarded the NSF Bottled Water Certification to Jazan Development Company's (Jazadco) Nuran and Faifa brands of drinking water.

NSF Certification communicates Jazan's commitment to producing safer, higher-quality products to consumers worldwide.

To achieve NSF Certification, the Jazan bottling facility in Saudi Arabia underwent a rigorous audit to verify that the bottling facility met all certification requirements, including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), which are nationally-recognized standards for food safety.

NSF also tested samples of Nuran and Faifa products against the FDA Code of Federal Regulations for Bottled Water for more than 160 chemicals, inorganic, radiological and microbiological contaminants.

To maintain certification, the NSF Beverage Quality/Bottled Water Certification program conducts annual product testing and unannounced bottling facility audits that cover every aspect of the operation from water source to the filling room.
