Authorities perform routine inspections to make sure that food safety regulations are followed and that food is stored properly.
In order to verify their compliance with the food safety regulations of the Emirate and make sure they adhere to all safeguards and health standards, the Dubai Municipality has carried out over 350 field inspections in canteens of public and private educational institutions throughout Dubai.
The action is consistent with the Municipality’s commitment to ensuring the highest standards of food safety in educational facilities, which will enhance students’ health, safety, and quality of life.
The goal of the regular inspection campaigns run in school canteens is to make sure that food safety regulations are followed and that food is kept in the best possible conditions. The Municipality also makes sure that vegetables and fruits are fully cleaned before being packed into boxes, as well as that food preparation and preservation are carried out at the proper temperatures.
To guarantee that pupils eat healthy food, it issued permits for food distribution, confirmed the school’s adherence to the food manual, and authorized the sale of certain food items. In order to provide outstanding public health and food safety for students, the campaign also aims to ensure that personnel are taught on safety and hygiene standards and requirements.
The Dubai Municipality conducted inspections in over 500 educational and commercial institutions in Dubai with a focus on the trade of school goods as part of its annual program, “Our schools are healthy and safe.”
The Municipality has been working to execute campaigns at regular intervals to maintain the highest possible level of safety and public health standards at educational institutions across Dubai as part of the program as it prepares for the new academic year 2023–2024.
