Health sets limits on sodium and sugars
The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention has implemented a decision to regulate the levels of sodium and sugars in certain food products, aiming to improve public health and reduce obesity rates and non-communicable diseases associated with unhealthy eating. The decree mandates a gradual reduction in the content of sodium, sugars, and fats in locally manufactured and imported processed foods, including categories such as bread, sweetened beverages, and snack foods. These targets are set with phased limits between 2026 and 2030. The initiative seeks to provide the community with healthier dietary options through defined timeframes, excluding products intended for export or re-export.
