Understanding Food Safety Training in the UAE
The Role of Dubai and Sharjah Municipalities
Both Dubai Municipality and Sharjah Municipality are committed to maintaining international food safety standards. They mandate training programs to ensure food businesses implement Good Hygiene Practices (GHP), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and effective Quality Management Systems (QMS). These regulations help reduce foodborne illnesses and promote safe handling practices from the kitchen to the consumer.
As a certified Dubai Municipality food safety training center, almaerifah aligns its training modules with current laws, preparing individuals and businesses to pass inspections and maintain compliance.
