Dubai Municipality Food Product Registration
Register your food and beverage products with Dubai Municipality’s Food Safety Department. We handle classification, documentation, portal submission and follow-up — so your products reach UAE shelves faster.
Food Product Categories We Cover
Dubai Municipality classifies food products by risk level. We handle all categories — from low-risk packaged foods to high-risk ready-to-eat and infant products.
Packaged & Processed Foods
Canned goods, snacks, condiments, sauces, cooking oils, cereals and packaged dry goods requiring DM registration.
Beverages
Juices, energy drinks, water, carbonated drinks, dairy-based beverages, functional drinks and RTD products.
Infant & Special Nutrition
Baby food, infant formula, follow-on formula and foods for special medical purposes — high-scrutiny category.
Health Foods & Supplements
Vitamins, minerals, herbal products, protein powders and dietary supplements classified as food under DM.
Confectionery & Bakery
Chocolate, candy, biscuits, pastries and bakery products requiring food composition and labelling review.
Additives & Flavourings
Food additives, colours, preservatives and flavouring agents that require DM approval before use or sale.
Our 5-Step Registration Process
We manage the entire process through the DM Food Safety portal — from initial product classification to certificate delivery.
Product Classification
We classify your product under the correct DM food category and risk level to determine the registration pathway and required documentation.
Label Review
We audit your label for DM compliance — bilingual Arabic-English requirements, mandatory declarations, font sizes, ingredient lists and allergen disclosure.
Documentation Build
We compile your technical file — lab reports, CoA, ingredient declarations, manufacturer details, and any required third-party test certificates.
Portal Submission
We submit through the DM Food Safety portal, manage clarification requests, respond to DM queries and track approval status on your behalf.
Certificate & Renewal
We deliver your registration certificate and set renewal reminders. We also manage product variation updates and new SKU additions.
Required Documents Checklist
Prepare these before submission. Missing or inconsistent documents are the #1 cause of rejection — we review everything before submitting.
Common Rejection Triggers We Prevent
- Arabic label missing or non-compliant font size
- Ingredients not matching CoA or lab report
- Banned additives or colours for the product category
- Nutritional values outside permitted ranges
- Missing allergen declarations
- Inconsistent product name across documents
