Food Contact Materials Registration
Expert guidance for food contact materials registration in the UAE.
Registering materials that contact food
Packaging, containers and anything that touches food must be proven safe before it can be sold or supplied in the UAE. We make demonstrating that simple and quick.
From testing to certification, our team handles the technical work and the authority submissions, so your materials are cleared for the food supply chain without delay.

Product registration is what makes your product legal to sell in Dubai
Retailers will ask for approval
Major retailers, distributors, pharmacies and online marketplaces often require valid UAE product registration before they agree to list, stock or sell your product.
Customs clearance becomes easier
The right registration, permits, labels and product documents help reduce the risk of shipment holds, rejected imports and costly delays at UAE customs.
Your brand looks more credible
A registered product shows buyers, retailers and distributors that your product has been reviewed for compliance, labeling, safety and market readiness.
You can scale more products
Once your first product is registered, it becomes easier to launch additional SKUs, pack sizes, variants and product lines across Dubai and the wider UAE market.
