Fasting is an ideal opportunity to rethink dietary habits and make healthier choices, and the Nutrition Label system helps fasting people to easily choose the right foods, improving overall health and minimizing issues associated with fasting, such as fatigue, dehydration and vitamin deficiencies.
The Nutrition Label is based on an innovative visual classification of food products into five categories from A to E, with different colors reflecting their nutritional value, which helps consumers, especially during fasting periods, to choose foods that are rich in essential nutrients, while reducing the consumption of products with low nutritional values.
The nutrition labeling system provides several benefits that support public health and enhance quality of life, including improving nutritional awareness by providing consumers with clear information about the nutritional value of foods, enabling them to make informed health decisions; promoting general health by helping to choose balanced meals that contain essential nutrients, reducing fatigue and dehydration during fasting; and enabling consumers to easily select the healthiest food products, encouraging the adoption of sustainable and long-term eating habits in line with the UAE's vision to enhance quality of life and reduce health risks
H.E. Engineer Abdullah Hassan Al Muaini, Executive Director of the Central Testing Laboratory, emphasized the importance of this system in achieving a qualitative leap in nutritional awareness,
‘The nutrition labeling system represents a strategic step towards promoting public health, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, when choosing healthy foods becomes a priority to maintain the body's balance,’ He said.
’this initiative supports individuals in making scientifically-based nutritional decisions, which contributes to enhancing the quality of life and preventing malnutrition-related diseases.’ He added.
MR. Muaini explained that the application of the nutrition label on food products is scheduled to start in mid-2025, with the first phase covering oils, dairy products, beverages, bakery products and baby food, with future expansion plans to cover more food categories.
The Executive Director of the Central Testing Laboratory confirmed that the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council will provide technical support to manufacturers to improve the quality of food products and raise health and food safety standards in the country.
The initiative reflects the UAE's commitment to creating a more conscious food environment where consumers, especially those who are fasting, can make healthier and more sustainable food choices.
Through the labeling system, a healthy lifestyle that minimizes chronic diseases, improves energy levels and promotes overall wellbeing is promoted, in line with the national vision to make the UAE one of the most advanced countries in terms of public health and wellbeing.
As efforts continue to enhance the quality of life in the country, the Nutritional Labeling System represents a pioneering step towards a healthier dietary future, where everyone, especially during Ramadan, has the opportunity to make conscious food choices that improve the quality of life and enhance the health of individuals and society as a whole.

The ‘Nutri-mark’ label initiative is the first of its kind in the region, a pioneering nutritional labeling system that will be placed on the front end of food products. ‘Nutri-mark’ is designed to promote healthier eating habits and enable consumers to make healthier and informed decisions. The guideline aims to enhance food manufacturer’s understanding of product nutritional value through standardised nutritional labeling. The system utilises an A-to-E letter grade (A being the highest nutritional quality) and a color-coded grading system (green to red) that simplifies comparisons of nutritional value within the same food category.
H.E. Dr. Omniyat Al Hajeri, Executive Director of the Community Health Sector at Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre, said: “The launch of the Abu Dhabi guideline for the use of the Nutri-mark label reflects Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre’s (ADPHC) unwavering commitment to enhancing the community’s health and well-being in the Emirate. This initiative serves as a testament to ADPHC’s dedication to addressing the obesity health crisis, setting new benchmarks for food labeling on a local and global scale. Through empowering consumers with clear, accessible information and fostering accountability within the food industry, we are laying the foundation for a healthier population. In collaboration with our esteemed partners, we will continue to pursue innovative solutions that create a lasting impact and enable our community to make informed healthier decisions.”
H.E. Engineer Bader Khamis Alshemaili, Executive Director of the Conformity and Standards Services Sector at the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council and Chairman of the Standard Technical Committee said: “The development of Abu Dhabi’s guideline for the ‘Nutri-mark’ label represents a strategic step in promoting health awareness among consumers. The Council is working closely with our partners to achieve the goals of the Obesity Control Programme, by supporting companies in enhancing the nutritional value of their products, reducing the prevalence of obesity, and mitigating the long-term costs associated with chronic diseases.”
The guideline serves as a strategic tool to support Abu Dhabi’s efforts to combat obesity and promote community health, encouraging food companies to enhance the nutritional quality of their products and contribute to reducing obesity rates and improving the overall well-being of the community. Additionally, it outlines principles, requirements and responsibilities for food manufacturers implementing the ‘Nutri-mark’ label. Furthermore, they are provided with a standardised methodology for classifying products based on their nutritional composition and value, encouraging companies to reformulate products with healthier ingredients and facilitating informed food choices.
The guideline specifies the nutritional criteria that food manufacturers must adhere to when applying the Nutri-mark label, including requirements for fat content (total and saturated fats), carbohydrates and sugars, protein and fibre, salt content and calorie values. By ensuring standardized and transparent nutritional labeling, the initiative aims to improve consumer awareness and promote healthier food consumption patterns.
The approval of the guideline was part of the recurring meeting of the Standard Technical Committee for Abu Dhabi Standards during the fourth quarter of 2024, chaired by H.E. Engineer Bader Khamis Alshemaili, and attended by representatives from 25 governmental entities. The meeting also covered discussions on additional technical standards and guidance documents aimed at enhancing quality and ensuring regulatory compliance across various sectors in Abu Dhabi.
As part of its broader mission, the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council continues to lead efforts to advance public health, regulatory excellence, and quality assurance. The Council remains committed to supporting innovative solutions that enhance consumer well-being and create a healthier, more sustainable community.

The committee reviewed and approved several technical standards, documents, and manuals, including the draft Abu Dhabi Occupational Terms for individuals working in the field of electricity. This document, submitted by the Abu Dhabi Distribution Company (ADDC), was prepared in collaboration with Al Ain Distribution Company and representatives from the private sector.
The draft outlines professional standards to ensure the competence of individuals working in electricity-related professions, including consulting engineers and PV system contractors. It represents a significant step in improving professional performance across the Emirate’s energy infrastructure projects.
The development of these occupational requirements stems from the urgent need to regulate electricity professions at the emirate level. By establishing clear standards and requirements, the initiative aims to ensure quality service performance, safeguard public safety, and align with best practices. These measures are expected to boost public confidence in the services provided.
H.E. Badr Khamis Al Shemili, Executive Director of the Conformity and Standards Services Sector and Chairman of the Standard Technical Committee, emphasized:
"The preparation of these professional requirements is an important step toward ensuring the efficiency of individuals in the electrical profession, enhancing professional performance in Abu Dhabi, and regulating these professions by setting clear standards. Achieving the required quality and maintaining public safety depends on collaboration between government agencies and the private sector."
