Rumours

With regards to the rumor concerning that there are several products found in Arab countries that contain pork derivatives, here is the Food Safety Department’s response:

Dubai Municipality confirms that this news is not true and cautions the public on the danger of circulating such rumors unless it is issued from reliable sources.

Dubai Municipality periodically collects samples of food products that contain meat or its derivatives, such as gelatin or animal fats, and test them in the laboratory to verify their safety and ensures that they are free from pork derivatives.

Food is one of the products that are most subject to control by the competent authorities in the country due to its importance and direct impact on the health of members of society.

Dubai Municipality ensures the verification of the safety of food products and their ingredients, compliance with Halal conditions and conformity with the technical regulations and standards at all stages of circulation.
