Abu Dhabi Issues Guidelines for Pre-Approval Novel Food Tasting Trials
Abu Dhabi authorities have introduced guidelines permitting alternative protein and novel food companies to host sensory evaluations and tasting trials before obtaining full UAE commercial authorization. The framework was jointly developed by ADQCC, ADAFSA, and ADIO to bridge the gap between laboratory development and market launch. ADAFSA will oversee trial approvals while ADQCC provides laboratory verification and testing services.
