Emirati Arabi Uniti: ispezioni alimentari

In the United Arab Emirates food control is each emirate's own, so you choose your emirate in the app. In Dubai the app follows Dubai Municipality's Food Code (2013); in Abu Dhabi Regulation No. 6 of 2010, as ADAFSA's Code of Practice No. 29 of 2019 quotes it; in the other emirates the Dubai Food Code's numbers as a guide. In Dubai, Foodwatch stays compulsory: Chef Hygiene is an extra helper, never a replacement.

organismo di ispezione

Each emirate's food control: Dubai Municipality (Dubai), ADAFSA (Abu Dhabi), the municipality in the other emirates

Each emirate inspects its own food businesses: Dubai Municipality's Food Safety Department in Dubai, ADAFSA (the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority) in Abu Dhabi, and the municipality's food control in Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and the other emirates. Each emirate's Civil Defence checks fire safety.

After an inspection you are told what to put right and by when. In Dubai fines vary by violation and double when repeated (Local Order No. 11 of 2003). In Abu Dhabi ADAFSA's penalties come in 7 graded steps, from a notice and a warning up to closure and cancelling the licence, with an appeal within 60 days (Resolution No. 2 of 2022). We could not confirm the amounts, so we show none.
