           safe, nutritious, and healthy food items that comply with the highest internationally

           accredited standards.




           The Municipality has implemented extensive food safety control measures for both

           imported and domestically produced goods. In the previous year alone, a total of

           65,230 inspection visits were carried out across the 26,612 registered food

           involving over 2,272,400 individual food items. These inspections covered more

           than 363,553 food shipments and approximately 533,790 food containers.




           Sultan Al Taher, Director of the Food Safety Department at Dubai Municipality,

           emphasised the Municipality's commitment to prioritising the development of the

           food industry by offering support, providing necessary infrastructure, and

           promoting investment opportunities to encourage its growth. These initiatives are in

           line with Dubai Municipality's dedication to establishing a sustainable food system,

           ensuring the availability of adaptable food supply chains for all commodities, and

           aligning with the goals of the Dubai Food Security Strategy.



           Al Taher said, "In 2023, the food industry showcased remarkable figures,


           highlighting Dubai's position as a global commercial hub. These results also
           underscore the efficacy of regulations and laws that have fortified the industry's


           resilience, contributing to increased growth, development, and enhanced investment
           opportunities."
