The Dubai Municipality has denied rumors about injecting the cattle producing Al Marai, Nadec, and Al Safi milk; to increase the proportion of milk.

According to a statement issued on Dubai Municipality on their official Instagram account, the authority said that this rumor is not based on any scientific references or official statements from accredited governmental entities and the milk products are from KSA, which applies technical regulations & GSO standards.

It also said that the Dubai Municipality and the regulatory bodies in UAE supervise all shipments of imported food and ensure their safety and validity for consumption.

The Dubai Municipality had earlier also responded to the circulating rumours that Oreo biscuits sold in UAE markets allegedly contain a small amount of alcohol.

The entity denied the rumour on social media, stating that the product in the market is 'halal' and alcohol free.

It explained that there was a mistake translating the food ingredients into Arabic. The word 'chocolate liquor' was literally translated to alcohol, on the other hand, it should have been translated to cocoa paste, the municipality added.
