DUBAI // Normally, food inspectors spend their time haranguing restaurants about the need for good hygiene. Now, they are taking aim at a new group: housewives who prepare meals for their families every day.
The Dubai Municipality launched what it is calling its Safe Kitchen Initiative to promote the correct preparation of meals.
To kick off the initiative, food inspectors will make a one-hour presentation at Lulu Hypermarket in Al Qusais starting at 8pm on Monday.
They will highlight kitchen dos and don’ts and will try to dispel some myths about food poisoning.
“The programme will be for an hour and people who are attending can ask questions regarding food safety and food poisoning,” the department said.
Anybody can attend, but officials are especially hoping housewives are in the audience since many cases of food poisoning are blamed on incorrect handling of food in homes.
The municipality has recorded 60 cases of food poisoning so far this year, two-thirds of which involved people eating at home.
If the demonstration is well-attened more will be organised in other malls and shops.
