Qatar Establishes General Authority for Food Safety, Confirms Service Continuity

Qatar has established the General Authority for Food Safety under Amiri Decision No. (41) of 2026. The new authority will unify institutional oversight and enhance the efficiency of food control, protecting consumer health and strengthening confidence in food safety in the country.

The Ministry of Public Health said the establishment of the authority represents a new step towards strengthening Qatar’s food safety system. It will support the development of food control throughout every stage of the food chain, from production until food reaches the consumer.

During the transition phase, the Ministry of Public Health will continue providing food safety services through the approved channels and procedures. The arrangement is intended to ensure service continuity and facilitate transactions for beneficiaries.
