Jazan Development Company Earns NSF International Bottled Water Certification

ANN ARBOR, Mich. & JIZAN CITY, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - NSF International announced that Jazan Development Company’s (Jazadco) Nuran and Faifa brands of drinking water have earned NSF Bottled Water Certification. NSF Certification communicates Jazan’s commitment to producing a safer, higher-quality product for 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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (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.

“NSF Certification provides a competitive advantage in terms of quality and safety and increases credibility by assuring consumers that government standards are met,” said Mamdouh Al Ameen, Sales Manager of Jazan Development Company (water division).

"I am very proud and happy to announce that Jazan Development Company water division has earned certification from NSF International for our drinking water bottling plant.
