Dubai Municipality has dispelled rumors of the dangers of burning chips.
The municipality of Dubai denies the veracity of the video, in which burning chips are shown to confirm the harm of the product.
The Dubai Municipal Food Safety Department explained that burning fried potatoes is a natural result of burning carbohydrates, oils and salt contained in the product and does not indicate the presence of any chemicals that could seriously affect food safety.
The municipality of Dubai has called on the public not to distribute the videos and rumors without checking the facts.
The municipality claims that consumers should not doubt the safety of these foods, as the regulatory authorities take all necessary measures to ensure safety at all stages of production. The municipality of Dubai also takes samples of all food products that are sold in the emirate and subjects them to laboratory tests.
Consumer protection and safety are a priority for the Department of Food Safety. The municipality called for direct contact with the Department of Food Security to get the right information.
The official clarification is part of the Confirmed News initiative launched on the Dubai Municipality portal, which aims to reduce the spread of rumors on social networks, as well as combat false news.
