Abu Dhabi authority shuts down restaurant for violating food safety laws
A restaurant in Abu Dhabi has been closed for violating food safety laws of the emirate.
It was announced on Wednesday, August 20, that the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (Adafsa) issued the "decision to administratively close" Taj Alzumuruda Restaurant, which is located in Al Ain. The authority said that the establishment had violated Law No. (2) of 2008 on food safety in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, and its associated regulations.
It added that the restaurant's practices posed "a serious risk to public health."
Adafsa said that the restaurant had been given many warnings about food safety violations found by inspectors, and failed to take any action to make corrections. The authority then decided to shut it down in order to safeguard public health.
The closure will remain in order until corrective measures are taken to enhance food safety and make sure the regulations are being followed by the establishment. The authority confirmed that the restaurant is allowed to reopen after making the necessary changes.
