The inspection campaign involved over 350 field visits to school canteens, with the primary objective of validating their adherence to food safety standards and best practices. This initiative reflects the Municipality's dedication to enhancing the overall quality of life for students by promoting health and safety within their school environments.

The periodic inspection campaigns in school canteens encompass a range of crucial factors. First and foremost, inspectors ensure that food safety standards are met throughout the canteen's operations. This includes verifying the proper storage of food items and ingredients, checking that food preparation and preservation occur at appropriate temperatures, and ensuring that fruits and vegetables are thoroughly cleaned before being served or stored.

Additionally, the inspections focus on evaluating the canteens' compliance with health requirements, with a strong emphasis on promoting personal and public hygiene standards across educational institutions. Dubai Municipality issues permits for food suppliers, verifying that schools adhere to the prescribed food manual, which outlines the sale of approved and safe food items to ensure students have access to nutritious and secure meals. The campaign also emphasizes the importance of educating canteen staff on safety and hygiene standards to maintain excellent public health and food safety for students.

Dubai Municipality's commitment to food safety in educational institutions is part of its annual initiative, "Our schools are healthy and safe." This initiative includes inspections conducted in over 500 educational and commercial institutions across Dubai, with a particular focus on the trading of school supplies.

As part of its preparation for the new academic year in 2023-2024, Dubai Municipality has dedicated considerable effort to conducting campaigns at regular intervals. These campaigns aim to establish and uphold the highest levels of safety and public health standards within educational institutions across the emirate, ensuring that students can enjoy a healthy and secure environment conducive to learning.

In conclusion, Dubai Municipality's diligent efforts to oversee food safety in school canteens reflect its unwavering commitment to the well-being of students and the broader community. These inspections not only enhance food safety practices but also contribute to the overall health and safety of educational institutions in Dubai.
