B.Laban Reopens in Saudi: What’s New After the Scandal?

Missing your daily fix of rice pudding from B.Laban? The popular dessert chain that stirred controversy over food poisoning claims is making a comeback in Saudi Arabia. Egypt isn’t hitting the green light just yet.

Earlier this year, B.Laban made headlines in both countries after multiple customers reported cases of food poisoning allegedly linked to their desserts. This led to a full shutdown of their branches, and fans were left wondering if the brand would recover.

Now, B.Laban branches in Saudi Arabia are quietly reopening, reassuring customers that safety and hygiene protocols have been seriously revamped. But over in Egypt, authorities are taking no chances. The owners of the B.Laban chain have been handed a comprehensive list of demands that go beyond just fixing up their kitchens.

We’re talking strict health standards in factories and shops, updated medical clearances for workers, and making sure every location meets all licensing and administrative requirements. Egyptian officials have made it clear: B.Laban will stay closed until every condition is met.

The message is loud and clear: food safety is no joke. After reopening in Saudi Arabia, fans of the dessert shop are eagerly waiting for the Egyptian branches to return. However, it seems there’s still a bit of a road ahead. Until then, we’re all watching closely. Will B.Laban clean up its act and bounce back stronger in Saudi Arabia and Egypt? Time and inspections will tell.
