A Food Law for Abu Dhabi, which lays the foundations to take better care of consumer health by enhancing food safety and quality standards, was launched on Thursday.
The law, expected to come into effect three months after it is published in the Official Gazette, stipulates stringent measures to ensure food safety and quality.
From the producers, to storage and transportation to the retailers and caterers, the law covers all stakeholders of the food chain and defines their rights and responsibilities. It lays out penalties for violators and imparts power to the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA) to implement these.
The law, in line with the government's strategy to achieve excellence in all fields, was launched in a ceremony at the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce. Various stakeholders from the public and private sector where present at the launch. Source
