Health enhances food safety oversight
The Public Health Ministry of Qatar's report for the second quarter of 2026 highlighted intense regulatory efforts to enhance food safety. These efforts included the withdrawal of 7,807 samples from local establishments, the examination of 29,147 imported shipment batches, and the conduct of 136,280 laboratory tests. Additionally, coordination was carried out to organize and distribute permits and electronic services to improve the monitoring of food transactions. Furthermore, 1,281 establishments were registered in the "Wathiq" system, 1,826 permits were issued, and the Food Safety Department responded to 231 complaints and inquiries from the public to strengthen consumer protection. The results confirm the expansion of the national regulatory system, which encompasses inspection, analysis, regulation of workers, and oversight of food materials — all aimed at ensuring food safety and reducing health risks.
