Date : 20 February 2025
Venue : Doha, Qatar
The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) officially launched the Food Safety Rating Programme for Food Establishments in the State of Qatar. The initiative aims to enhance compliance with food safety requirements across various food establishments in the country. The programme enables consumers to assess the extent to which food establishments adhere to health regulations, based on the results of periodic inspections.
Under the programme, food establishments are classified into six categories: (1) Urgent Improvement Necessary, (2) Major Improvement Necessary, (3) Improvement Necessary, (4) Good, (5) Very Good, (6) Excellent. The classification results are published on the "Watheq" electronic food safety system, allowing consumers to review them, while food establishments can also display their classification rating on-site.
