safety and nutrition standards, environmental sustainability, social

responsibility, innovation, and digitisation, in line with the country’s initiatives

ensures the safety and sustainability of food systems and makes Dubai more

sustainable every day.

registration of food products and shipments, and enabling food

establishments, traders, and suppliers of food materials to learn about the
