Dubai, UAE – The UAE government has initiated a strict crackdown on illegal abattoirs ahead of the upcoming Eid Al Adha festival. This move aims to eliminate unhygienic practices found in unlicensed slaughterhouses and to protect public health.
Authorities have increased inspection efforts across the country during the Eid holidays to ensure compliance with health and safety standards. Illegal slaughterhouses operating without proper licenses will face heavy fines of up to Dh20,000.
This enforcement not only safeguards public health but also helps regulate the meat market during one of the busiest times of the year for animal slaughter. The government has issued a reminder to residents and businesses to use only licensed abattoirs to guarantee safe and clean practices.
These actions underscore the UAE’s commitment to maintaining food safety and public welfare during important religious celebrations.
