Lulu Hypermarket, one of the gold sponsors of Dubai International Food Safety Conference, has taken part in the event as part of the company’s CSR commitment, said Suraj P, Lulu Hygiene Manager.

Throughout the year, the food retailer carries out a number of initiatives aimed at improving food safety among its staff and its customers, such as the “Safe Kitchen” programme, as well as regular food safety classes at Dubai Arabian Centre.

Furthermore, all Lulu supermarket employees undergo three levels of food safety training, Suraj explained.

The hypermarket chain, which, in addition to Dubai and Northern Emirates, where it has already adhered to the Person-In-Charge initiative, as required by local laws, also registers a strong presence in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Yemen and Egypt, is in the process of implementing a similar programme across all of its stores.
