At Blue Oasis Life, we are deeply committed to nourishing your body with wholesome, thoughtfully prepared meals and fresh, farm-based products. Our café and in-house goat dairy uphold high standards of cleanliness, sustainability, and food safety to support your wellness journey.

This Food Safety Disclosure outlines our practices and important information regarding the preparation, handling, and consumption of food and beverages served at our retreat or sold on-site and online.

1. Our Commitment to Safe, Clean, and Conscious Food

We prioritize:

• Fresh, locally sourced, and organic ingredients
• Responsible handling of raw dairy and plant-based produce
• Transparent labeling and informed choices for all guests
• Adherence to UAE food safety regulations and HACCP standards

All food served at Blue Oasis Life is prepared in our on-site café kitchen by trained staff in accordance with approved food hygiene practices.

2. Food Allergies & Sensitivities

While we strive to accommodate dietary needs, please be aware:

• Our kitchen uses common allergens such as nuts, dairy, gluten, eggs, soy, and seeds.
• Cross-contact may occur despite careful handling.
• Guests with severe allergies must notify staff when placing an order or booking a retreat.

We offer a variety of gluten-free, plant-based, and dairy-free options; however, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.

Please speak with a member of our café team if you have any food-related allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions.

3. Raw Dairy Products Disclosure

Our retreat features small-batch, handcrafted goat dairy items made with love on our farm. Some of these may be offered raw (unpasteurized) to retain nutritional integrity and natural enzymes.

Important Notes:

• Raw dairy may carry a risk of foodborne illness, particularly for individuals with compromised immune systems, pregnant women, children, and the elderly.
• All guests will be informed at the point of purchase or serving if a product is raw and unpasteurized.
• Pasteurized alternatives may be available upon request.

By consuming raw dairy products from Blue Oasis Life, you acknowledge and accept this disclosure.

4. Safe Handling of Farm-to-Table Produce

Our fresh produce comes directly from our on-site grow towers and permaculture gardens. To maintain food safety:

• All fruits, vegetables, and herbs are washed and handled in a sanitized environment.
• Only potable water is used for cleaning.
• Harvested goods are inspected and rotated daily to ensure peak freshness.

We do not use synthetic pesticides or chemical preservatives.

5. Onsite Café Hygiene & Handling Practices

Our café staff are trained in:

• Safe food handling and temperature control
• Cross-contamination prevention
• Regular cleaning and sanitization protocols
• UAE Department of Health food safety regulations

We undergo routine inspections and quality checks to maintain hygiene compliance and guest safety.

6. Packaging, Storage & Takeaway

• All takeaway containers and food storage packaging used at Blue Oasis Life are eco-friendly and food-safe.
• Takeaway items should be refrigerated promptly if not consumed immediately.
• Perishable items, especially dairy and juices, should be consumed within the recommended time frame printed on the packaging.

7. Fermented & Preserved Foods

We offer house-made fermented and preserved wellness items, such as:

• Herbal tonics
• Probiotic drinks
• Goat kefir and yogurt
• Pickled vegetables

Please note:

• These products are naturally preserved but may have a limited shelf life.
• Natural fermentation may cause pressure buildup or changes in taste—this is a normal part of living foods.

• You have been made aware of potential allergens and food safety disclosures.
