ABU DHABI, 14th April, 2023 (WAM) — The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority, ADAFSA, has launched an extensive inspection campaign to promote food safety and reduce food waste during Ramadan. The campaign, which begins the week before the holy month, is aimed at verifying compliance with food safety regulations, enforcing legislation and promoting the health of food businesses and communities.

A total of 4,491 food establishments were inspected, of which 2,531 met all the necessary requirements. However, 76 people were fined, 1628 people were warned, and 256 people were given attention. In addition, some 12,460 businesses in the emirate of Abu Dhabi have implemented a self-monitoring system.

Inspections are aimed at enhancing food safety in all establishments along the food chain, including supermarkets, restaurants, distribution centres, food stores, catering companies and markets selling meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. Follow approved procedures to correct any misconduct and ensure the highest level of food safety during Ramadan.

To complement the inspection campaign, an awareness campaign was also launched to educate the public about the detrimental economic and environmental impacts of food waste. The campaign provides guidance for preserving food, encouraging optimal use and changing community behavior about food. It emphasizes the importance of meal planning, identifying appropriate amounts of food, and safe and correct storage and handling methods.

ADAFSA has urged the public to call the Abu Dhabi Government’s toll-free number 800555 to report any violations found at any food establishment.
