The rules bite hardest where food meets the consumer: the canteen counter, the shawarma spit and the cosmetics shelf.
Overview
The specialty and prepared-food set of the AGS technical guidelines library, prepared as international editions of UAE.S and GSO technical regulations resting on Codex normative bases. It is the widest coverage in the library, written for authorities, importers and consultancies holding several product categories in view at once: ready-to-eat food, school canteens, shawarma, energy drinks, organic production, foods for special medical purposes, labelling and cosmetics.
Ready-to-eat control turns on the critical temperature reference chart, the danger zone, one reheating only and two-hour cooling. Energy drinks are governed by pre-market registration, the 14.5 to 32 mg/100 ml caffeine band counted from every source, and ethanol and CO2 limits. Labelling is handled as one consolidated regime rather than scattered rules, and the cosmetics guideline brings safety requirements, ISO 22716 good manufacturing practice and microbiological testing together.
What this system covers
- Ready-to-eat food — the critical temperature chart, cooking, single reheating, hot and cold holding and two-hour cooling
- School canteen hygiene — the Type A, B and C scheme, same-day preparation and a sales area below 25 degrees Celsius
- Shawarma preparation — Halal sourcing, one meat type per skewer, no mixing of chilled and frozen, the fifty per cent rule and continuous heat
- Energy drinks — pre-market dossiers, the caffeine band, all-source accounting, ethanol and CO2 limits
- Organic production — the four conditions, percentage thresholds, the five per cent exception and conversion periods
- Foods for special medical purposes — product categories, nutritional completeness and parenteral-use warnings
- Food labelling — Arabic language requirements, over-stickers, honest presentation, scheme marks and product naming
- Cosmetic products — safety assessments, restricted substances, the five annexes and microbiological testing
Who it's for
Food service chains and caterers, school food operators, beverage and specialty manufacturers, importers, regulatory affairs teams, and inspectors covering mixed portfolios. It is bought when a range outgrows a single regime, or when a consultancy takes on clients across several categories at once. Each category's defining limits arrive already written down, ready to reissue under the buyer's own document control.
