Dubai supermarkets start direct food safety messaging at deli counters

Dubai is hot, with daytime highs at this time of year regularly exceeding 40C (104 F). Local public health types determined that with the super shopping mega malls, people were buying food, placing it in the incubators they called cars, and then some more leisurely shopping.

So, after a few meetings, all supermarkets in Dubai will now be offering warnings, similar to these, regarding ready-to-eat foods. The sign says, ‘Cold Food Consume Immediately Or Refrigerate Within One Hour.’

Cool stuff.
