Chinese Approval for Food Detective® test

Omega (AIM: ODX), the medical diagnostics company focused on CD4, food intolerance and allergy testing, announces that the   National Medical Products Administration ("NMPA"), formerly the China Food and Drug Administration, has approved the Company's Food Detective® test for laboratory use in China .  

Our development team, working in conjunction with our distribution partner, has performed exceptionally well in developing a Chinese version of the Food Detective® test and obtaining regulatory approval with the NMPA during what has been a difficult few months for everyone concerned throughout the world.

We will now continue the work with our partner where the next objective is to achieve NMPA approval for a self-test version of the Food Detective® test and we look forward to providing further updates in due course.

Colin King, CEO of Omega commented: "I am delighted to receive the approval for one of our key strategic goals at this point in time. This is an excellent reward for all the hard work put in by both our and our partner's teams, especially in these challenging times. We will now focus our efforts to achieving the self-test approval in China in conjunction with our partner."
