How much attention do you pay to the food you are eating?
Is too little attention given tot he quality of food and the quality of the environment it is being consumed in?
Hygiene is the issue!
Have a complain in Dubai call 800 900.
If you want information on education call 206-4201.
Part of the problem we face in Dubai is simply the vast number of cultures and their idea of what hygiene is.
# of restaurants in Dubai 1,044
# of Cafeterias 563
# of Cafes 244
# of food inspectors 110
The municipality has a grading system from A to E and fines to go with the grades and violations.
The number of food places with an A rating? 2-3% ONLY!
There was a call to name and shame those who are poor at hygiene and name those at the top.
There is a 10% increase in the number of food establishments in Dubai each year!
11,000 people dealing with food go for municipality training yearly.
But what we still need to see in the UAE is HACCP or critical control point coverage for food distribution.
One caller has the answer!

Through this service you know where the food is and that it has been handled in an appropriate manner until it reaches its final storage then it is all up tot he kitchen staff!
There is no question that the municipality is working hard BUT the work has to also come from those slinging plates and making it as healthy an activity as possible.
