Dubai restaurants will no longer be able to serve flowers or rose petals with food and beverages, according to a recent municipality circular.
The circular stated that it is prohibited to use flowers, roses or its petals as decoration or to be used as an ingredient with meals, according to the Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm.
The circular explained that the flower ban was based on the decision of the National Committee for Food Safety, which prohibited the use of natural flowers and roses of all kinds with food and beverages provided to ensure the quality of meals offered in Dubai.
