Dhofar Municipality's mobile food safety lab
SALALAH, August 24: Since the start of the 2024 Khareef Season, Dhofar Municipality has been rigorously implementing the second edition of its mobile laboratory initiative, designed to ensure food safety across the governorate.
The deployment of the mobile lab has marked the Municipality's efforts to ensure that citizens, residents, and the influx of visitors receive safe and healthy food.
The mobile laboratory, has proved to be instrumental in reaching a wide array of locations to conduct essential inspections. This year's efforts have expanded significantly, covering a diverse range of food establishments, including cafes serving coffee, tea, and similar beverages. These inspections aim to guarantee that all consumables meet the stringent safety standards set by the municipality.
The initiative is a continuation of Dhofar Municipality's commitment to public health, bolstered by the addition of cutting-edge technologies and equipment to the mobile laboratory.
This enhancement has allowed the municipality to carry out more detailed and accurate inspections, ensuring that food products in the governorate are of the highest quality. The laboratory operates during official evening hours, providing specialised teams with the necessary time and resources to conduct thorough testing and analyses.
The Khareef season, a peak tourist period in Dhofar, attracts a large number of visitors from within Oman and abroad. The influx of tourists adds an extra layer of responsibility for local authorities to maintain high standards of food safety.
Dhofar Municipality has risen to this challenge, ensuring that every food outlet, from large restaurants to small cafes, undergoes rigorous scrutiny.
Officials from the Dhofar Municipality have highlighted the significance of this ongoing project as part of a broader strategy to enhance public services and build trust in the municipality’s regulatory measures.
The collaborative effort with various stakeholders underscores the municipality's dedication to ensuring that health and safety standards are not only met but exceeded during this critical season.
