Cheers! Dubai’s Population Can Take Cuisine Containing Alcohol
Dubai newspaper ‘The National’ reports that the Dubai State has lifted a ban on food preparation with alcohol on the proviso that this kind of food is clearly marked.
Dubai is reversing the 2003 law that bans cuisine preparation with alcohol because the majority Islamic inhabitants could not recognize whether food included alcohol. Although implementation of the law was announced on Sunday, the decision has since been reversed. Cooking containing alcohol could be served if was distinct from from other food and clearly labeled.
Awadhi was quoted as saying “We have found violations where hotels are not clearly stating alcohol content in their food.” Awadhi also stated that alcohol should be handled like other “non-halal products” such as pork.
