Researcher urges food testing

JAKARTA: A researcher underlined the need for clinical trials of all food and beverage products before they are put on the market.

"The results of clinical trials on humans should be announced for all products, and this should also apply to traditional products," a researcher at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Umar A. Jennie, said.

He said products that had not undergone clinical trials should indicate that fact on their packaging, as a means of protecting consumers. --Antara
