The fair is divided into five zones and 25 sectors, with Food Safety Officers (FSOs) deployed in each sector to regularly monitor hygiene and safety standards.
“To strengthen surveillance, a total of 56 Food Safety Officers (FSOs) have been deployed across the area, including five Chief Food Safety Officers (CFSOs). While two FSOs have been deployed in each sector, each zone is being supervised by one CFSO, ensuring comprehensive coverage and effective enforcement of food safety standards,” it added.
Food safety operations at the fair are also centrally managed from a dedicated office. Hotels, dhabas, and small food stalls within the fair premises are also undergoing regular inspections to verify food quality.
