Dubai Municipality has announced that food inspections will be carried out during Ramadan to ensure that the safety of food items, along with hygiene and precautionary measures, are all taken.
The inspections will be made to ensure that food establishments meet all the requirements for transporting, storing, preparing and displaying food products and materials.
Before Ramadan begins, inspection campaigns will be held which will focus on the different food products that are frequently used during Ramadan.
Sultan Ali Al Taher, Head of the Municipality's Food Inspection Section said, "There will be another campaign on markets such as the Central Fruits and Vegetables Market and the Waterfront Market, where consumers' shopping increases during the holy month of Ramadan. This inspection will be conducted to ensure the safety of fresh food products in the markets, which are usually perishable, to ensure compliance with display, storage and circulation in accordance with food safety requirements."
