Dubai Municipality Food Safety Regulations

The following table illustrates the food safety regulations issued by Dubai Municipality:

Activity	Safety procedures
While Shopping	Avoid shopping if you are sick and rely on online grocery ordering and home delivery. Reduce your visits to the supermarket and grocery stores by planning ahead for your grocery and household needs. Check the integrity of the packaging, storage procedures, and expiry date of each product. Buy frozen foods that need to be refrigerated at the end of your shopping trip to avoid thawing. Place frozen and raw foods such as eggs, meat, and fish in separate bags from the rest of the food products you purchase. Try using a credit card instead of cash to avoid touching currency. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth before washing your hands.
While Storing	Designate a specific place to sort and empty the outer bags and packaging after shopping or ordering groceries online, and dispose of them safely. Clean the area before and after sorting food in place. Allow products to dry for 10 minutes before using or storing them in the refrigerator or kitchen. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling canned and packaged foods. Separate raw meat from prepared foods. Place egg and milk products in the refrigerator within two hours at most. If the temperature is above 32°C, they must be placed in the refrigerator within one hour. Do not overfill the refrigerator.
Preparation	Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling canned and packaged foods. Make sure to disinfect and clean surfaces and wash tools with hot, soapy water before and after use. Use different cutting boards and utensils for raw foods than you would for prepared foods. Use thermometers to check food temperature, doneness, and chilling. Place food in airtight containers and refrigerate immediately if you do not eat the food or have leftovers. Make sure to eat any leftovers within two days of reheating them thoroughly.
