Food safety awareness in Lebanon is being raised lately, and now, people demand higher standards of safety when visiting a restaurant.
Syndicate of Restaurant Owners says “most eateries apply safety standards”
Paul Ariss calls for closing down unlicensed restaurants
This is our right, not a privilege.

In a bid to improve food quality and raise the bar in the public health and safety sector, Boecker Public Health, the region’s largest Pest Control, Biosecurity, and Food Safety provider, announced the launch of the Q-Platinum Award (QPA), an internationally recognized new food safety standard, in partnership with DQS-UL, the global leader in assessment and management system certification with the support of the Syndicate of owners of Restaurants, Cafes, Night-Clubs and Pastries in Lebanon.
And now, with this mandatory certificate being launched in Lebanon, we can judge the quality of the food in a restaurant, a café, or any food business.
You should not accept being served molded bread, a week old Hummus plate, unwached vegetables in your Tabbouleh, or suspicious kibbe!
Demand to see a certificate!
The Q-Platinum Award has been designed for restaurants and food establishments’ owners to provide them with a simple Food Safety System.The program designs and implements food safety standards for restaurants and catering firms that have smaller kitchens and thus could find it hard to obtain the ISO or HACCP certificates – due to specifications related to spaces.Interested institutions should contact Boecker and submit an application. Three months after that, Boecker will perform an audit to check the restaurant’s compliance with the applicable standards. If it obtained the required score, the restaurant would be granted the food safety certificate.
