Definition Of

Food

A food item refers to any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. Food items can range from raw ingredients like fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats, to processed or prepared foods such as bread, cheese, canned goods, and ready-to-eat meals. They are typically consumed to satisfy hunger, provide energy, and fulfill dietary needs.

INTRODUCTION TO

Food Product Registration in Dubai 

Dubai has developed into the Middle East’s major international trading hub, particularly when it comes to food, with significant amounts of food being imported and exported through its ports annually.
Without the establishment of appropriate food control processes and their enforcement by an active, efficient, and effective food control authority, such a high volume of trade could not be controlled.
In order to facilitate the food trade, Dubai Municipality strives to ensure the security and caliber of food that is imported and reported while also maintaining quick and easy processes and transactions.

Important commodities are guaranteed to be available in Dubai thanks to this food product registration system, which also makes it easier for them to be exported abroad. The government, customers, and traders all benefit from this system.

Dubai’s food product registration system operates in accordance with global norms. Authorities may now manage a huge number of products more easily as a result. Via this technology, customers can also obtain comprehensive safety information and product details.

Advantages of Registering a Product in Dubai

For dealers and merchants, the product registration system offers a number of benefits as well. Some of them are:

    • Food product registration enables retailers to quickly and profitably sell their goods in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and the Gulf.
    • Dubai’s food registration procedure complies with global norms. As a result, businesses can more easily re-export their food items to different international markets without having to worry about paying expensive taxes and penalties.
    • ZAD, the federal platform for the trading of food goods, has been integrated with the Dubai food registration process. Due to this, food goods in Dubai are now of a higher caliber and are therefore perfect for report.

  • It is not permitted to register food products containing alcohol, poppy seeds, or similar items.
  • Additionally, non-food goods are not subject to the food registration procedure. Products such as dietary supplements require a different registration procedure.
  • Every food product will undergo testing in a lab in Jebel Ali, and the federal agency ESMA (Emirates Authority for Standardization & Metrology) will also conduct an inspection.
