Abstract
Increased concerns over food safety have led to the adoption of international guidance on the key elements for national food control systems. This guidance had been used to conduct an initial assessment of the status of the food control systems in the countries belonging to the Gulf Cooperation Council. Our research has identified how the countries have been attempting to enhance their food control systems. Although the countries have different approaches to food control management, cooperation is leading to increased harmonization of legislation and food control practices. Progress is being made but there is evidence of some weakness where additional efforts may be needed.

Keywords: National food control; Gulf Cooperation Council

Relevance to our study:
This paper outlines the reasons for the enhancement of food safety and quality along the supply chain at the international level and national levels, with the aim of protecting consumers and promoting the production and trade of safe and quality food. There fore ther should be cooperation among all legislation in order to carry out more reseacrh on the important element of food safety.
