Dubai Municipality has launched food inspection campaigns in preparation for the holy month of Ramadan.
The move comes as part of the authority’s efforts to ensure that traded food items meet safety standards.
Inspections will also take place during the month-long fast in order to ensure that establishments are transporting, storing, preparing and displaying food items while following hygiene requirements.
“It will be followed by a continuous periodic campaign that commences at the beginning of the holy month on sales outlets such as consumer complexes and hypermarkets, to make sure it includes adherence to health requirements during the storage, display and sale of traded foodstuffs,” said Sultan Ali Al Taher, Head of the Municipality s Food Inspection Section.
