Pet Food Label Requirements in UAE
Pet supplement label requirements Dubai start with compliance to UAE health standards. Your label must hit every mark set by the Dubai Municipality and Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. Miss one, and your import grinds to a halt.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Trade Name and Description: Boldly state the product name. For health supplements or animal feed, specify if it’s dry, wet, or semi-moist pet food.
- Ingredients List: List everything in descending order. Highlight any animal protein, genetically modified organisms, or substances like additives.
- Net Quantity: Clear weight or volume.
- Manufacturer and Importer Details: Include name, address, and contact for both manufacturers and importers.
- Country of Origin: Must be visible – no hiding this.
- Batch Number, Production, and Expiry Dates: Tie into shelf life for safety.
- Storage Instructions: Keep it real – “Store in a cool, dry place” works.
- Usage Directions: How to feed or dose the pet animal food.
- Key Warnings: “Not for human consumption.” If the product contains a source of animal protein, declare it. No pork derivatives unless labeled, and free from harmful substances.
- Language Rule: Label in Arabic; English is optional but smart for global appeal. Stickers? Allowed if they stick to GSO standards.
Your product label must comply with Gulf Cooperation Council (GSO) rules too. We check every box during our label assessment to ensure compliance.
Product Registration for Pet Food in Dubai
