The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) intensified its control procedures over food circulating inside hotels participating in the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021 hosted in the country from November 30 to December 18.
The evaluation was a comprehensive audit process for the 12 hotels participating in the Arab Cup, she said.
During the evaluation process, the inspectors focused on the areas that most affect the safety of the food traded, as they inspected the various stages of food preparation and the hotel infrastructure, and verified the effectiveness of the preventive plan followed and the extent of workers training and awareness of food safety rules, in addition to organizing inspection visits to hotels by MOPH inspectors to supervise the implementation of the recommendations of the evaluation process and the required corrective actions, she indicated.
She added that the second phase of the Ministry of Public Health's plan targeted food handlers working in food establishments in hotels. The ministry organized workshops for officials in restaurants and kitchens in hotels to emphasize the importance of adhering to health requirements based on the food safety practices guide prepared by the ministry and how to apply all the health requirements correctly.
