Qatar Rolls Out Food Safety Rating Programme for All Restaurants

  • 30/07/2025

The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in Qatar has initiated the third phase of its Food Safety Rating Programme, expanding its reach to all food establishments across the country, including hotels, restaurants, and eateries operating in malls and tourism hubs.

This move is part of Qatar’s continued efforts to strengthen food safety standards and ensure better public health practices. The programme assesses food outlets based on their adherence to health and safety protocols and assigns them one of six ratings.

The rating levels are:

Urgent Improvement Necessary

Major Improvement Necessary

Good

Very Good

Excellent

These ratings will be published on the “Wathaq” online platform, accessible to the public. Food outlets must also display their ratings prominently on their premises, allowing customers to make informed choices.

The initiative empowers consumers to monitor food safety compliance and encourages establishments to maintain high standards. A recent webinar hosted by MoPH saw the participation of over 600 representatives from various food outlets, highlighting widespread industry engagement in the programme.
