The provincial mixed commission responsible for price control and food quality in Al Hoceima, Morocco, has announced a reinforcement of restaurant inspections for the summer of 2026. The initiative aims to protect consumers and ensure compliance with health and pricing regulations during the peak tourist season.
According to local authorities, the commission, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Interior, the National Office for Food Safety (ONSSA), and other relevant bodies, will conduct unannounced visits to restaurants, cafes, and food establishments across the province. The focus will be on verifying the quality and origin of food products, checking expiration dates, and ensuring that prices are displayed and adhere to legal standards.
This summer campaign is part of a broader national effort to maintain high standards in the hospitality sector, particularly in coastal areas like Al Hoceima that attract many visitors. Officials have warned that violators will face strict penalties, including fines and potential closure of non-compliant establishments.
Residents and tourists are encouraged to report any concerns about food quality or pricing to local authorities. The commission has stated that it will maintain a visible presence throughout the summer to ensure a safe and fair dining experience for all.
