Health Starts Limiting Sodium Sugars Fats
The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention has begun implementing a decision to regulate the levels of sodium, sugars, and fats in food products, aiming to improve public health and reduce obesity rates and non-communicable diseases related to unhealthy eating. The regulation applies to both locally packaged and imported foods and covers all stages of the food chain, with a commitment to gradual reduction until the end of 2030. It also sets maximum limits for the targeted components in each product type, divided into two phases, with fines and administrative procedures in case of violations. The goal of the regulation is to provide the community with more balanced dietary options and to lessen the impact of unhealthy products on public health.
