The Food Safety Management, represented by the section of Food Studies and Policies, in Dubai Municipality the application of best practices in food control, whether imported through land, sea, or air entry points in the emirate of Dubai or produced locally within the country. This is achieved by implementing approved control systems to ensure the sources of food comply with technical regulations, standard specifications, and approved health conditions. Necessary measures are taken to ensure their suitability for human consumption and to maintain the health and safety of consumers in the emirate. One of the main operations in the section of Food Studies and Policies is assessing and analyzing food-related risks. To excellently achieve the strategic objectives of the Dubai Municipality, it was necessary to develop a sustainable program, including conducting food-related studies and surveys, such as examining non-compliant chemical and microbial contaminants and monitoring them to ensure the sustainability of the safety and quality of food circulating among individuals, contributing to the sustainability of cities and communities. In this research, we present a collection of local studies in the emirate of Dubai in the field of food safety, which has contributed to providing a scientific model to sustain the health of the community by providing safe and sustainable food.
