Dubai Food Control Department Approval
Dubai requires the Food Control Department (FCD) approval for food and beverage licenses for businesses such as restaurants, cafes, catering services, cloud kitchens, and food-trading businesses. Structural Solutions provides food Control Department approval services to help businesses comply with Dubai Municipality food safety standards and obtain fast, legitimate approvals.
What is Food Control Department Approval?
Food Control Department Approval is the clearance given by Dubai Food Safety to Dubai Municipality to certify that food and beverage establishments and businesses comply with safety, hygiene, and operational standards. Food Control Approval deals with the layout of the kitchen and the processes of the kitchen, as well as the kitchen’s food storage and safety, and the sanitation standards for the kitchen.
Dubai requires the Food Control Department's Approval before opening or making any modifications to a food and beverage business. This helps Dubai ensure that all businesses comply with the country’s rules and regulations on food safety and public health.
