“The ministry is working on a plan to respond in case of a food poisoning incident or outbreak in the country. It also plans to propose new laws to the cabinet related to public health and food safety in the coming two years. We’re aiming for zero tolerance for deaths from food poisoning and want to reduce the number of these incidences. We have a strong food-monitoring system in restaurants, shops and labor camps. As we prepare for the 2022 World Cup, when many people will be visiting, it is even more critical that food standards are high.” said Dr. Sheikh Food Poisoning in Qatar According to the Ministry of Public Health, Qatar has the lowest incidence of food poisoning in the region, with only 50 cases reported last year. The majority of these cases were due to inappropriate food storage and bad practice by restaurants and food handlers. Mohammed Al Thani. An estimated 660 million cases of food poisoning are reported globally every year, 420 of these result in death. Among the deaths, one third are children below the age of five years. “We have laws and a strong monitoring system to make sure that food coming to Qatar is safe. But what we see is that 99 percent of cases of food poisoning happen not because of the standards of imported food but due to incorrect methods of storage or processing by restaurant employees and food handlers,” said Dr Al Thani. 21 APRIL 2017 “One of our priorities for 2017 is food safety. We are working together with municipalities to increase awareness among food handlers as well as the public,” said Dr. Al Rumaihi. “Although municipalities do their routine inspections at food outlets, restaurants and labor camps, we have a special joint team that responds immediately to any complaint or incident. Food safety teams go to the premises, collect samples and send them to the central food laboratory for analysis. In case of a food violation, the law allows us to close the restaurant.”
