Starting in 2025, schools across the UAE will enforce new rules banning online food deliveries directly to students, a move aimed at promoting healthier eating habits and ensuring food safety. The decision comes as part of updated education and health regulations designed to provide a more controlled and nutritious environment for children.
Authorities explained that the ban is intended to reduce reliance on fast food and unregulated meals, while encouraging students to eat balanced, school-approved options. Parents are urged to prepare home-packed meals or make use of school canteen services that adhere to strict health and nutrition guidelines.
The new regulations also introduce additional measures to support student well-being, including stricter oversight of school cafeterias and nutrition education programs. Education officials have emphasized that the initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader vision of fostering healthier lifestyles among young people.
