Abu Dhabi Enforces Healthy Dining Mandate for Tourism-Licensed Hotels and Restaurants
Hotels and tourism-licensed food outlets across Abu Dhabi face full enforcement of new nutritional regulations starting October 1, 2026. The mandate requires at least one healthy option per adult menu category and sets nutritional standards for at least 50 percent of children's meals. Establishments must also provide low-sodium salt as the default table condiment.
