Spinneys, which produces 25 tonnes of fresh meat daily at its Jebel Ali facility, emphasized its 100% traceability, strict halal sourcing from only two farms in Australia and New Zealand, and approval from two international food-safety bodies. The Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority and meat suppliers like Al Kabeer Group say they have stringent import controls and inspection procedures in place, though some industry experts warn that no system can guarantee 100% safety against contamination.
