He stressed that these vehicles must meet stringent health and safety standards to ensure safe food delivery and highlighted the significant risks associated with unlicensed operations.
Permits for food transport are issued only after a thorough inspection verifies that vehicles are suitable for the specific types of food they carry. This includes ensuring proper temperature control for food preservation and vehicle suitability for the food's nature.
Operators of food transport vehicles must comply with strict guidelines set by the Food Control Department. These guidelines include avoiding overcrowding, ensuring vehicles are not used for non-food items, and maintaining cleanliness. Vehicles must also be appropriate for the type of food being transported and stored.
By adhering to these regulations, Sharjah Municipality aims to enhance food safety and protect public health across the emirate.
