The Abu Dhabi Agriculture & Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) issued a decision administratively shutting down three food facilities, two in Abu Dhabi and one in Al Ain, for violating Law no. 2 for 2008 regarding food in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the legislation issued thereunder as well as for their danger to public health. The shut down facilities included Abu Dhabi-based Cettinad Multi Cuisine and Restaurant, which holds trade licence CN-1070357, Nasayem Al Nil Pastries & Sweets in Al Jimi in Al Ain, which holds trade licence CN-4472448 and Diamond City Supermarket in Musaffah, which holds trade licence CN-1247285. The ADAFSA explained that the food control report stated that the administrative closure decision against the three facilities came as a result of their repeated violations and their failure to fulfill food safety requirements, which necessitated an instant measure to be taken to ensure food safety and consumers' health. The ADAFSA affirmed that the administrative closure order would remain in effect until the facilities correct the violations and meet all the necessary requirements to ensure the health and safety of food. The administrative closure decisions and detection of abuses came as part of the inspection efforts aimed at strengthening the food safety system in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and ensuring that all facilities meet food safety requirements, while focusing on proactive protection of consumers, the ADAFSA said. The ADAFSA called on the public to communicate with it and report any food violations or any doubt about the contents of a food item by calling the Government of Abu Dhabi's toll free number 800555, enabling its inspectors to take the necessary measures for the ultimate aim of providing safe food to all Abu Dhabi inhabitants.

Abu Dhabi closed 7 restaurants and food facilities in 2025 so far for violating food safety laws
Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) shut down seven restaurants and food facilities in Abu Dhabi during the first quarter of this year for violating Law no.2 for 2008 regarding food in the emirate and their danger to public health. The closure came as part of ADAFSA's ongoing keenness on strengthening the food safety system. Last March saw ADAFSA's food safety inspectors intensifying their efforts to monitor restaurants and food facilities across the emirate. These efforts resulted in the administrative closure of four food facilities including three ones during its annual campaign to monitor and raise awareness among food facilities during the holy month of Ramadan. The facilities shut down included a restaurant and a café, both on Hamdan Street, a supermarket in Al Khalidiya area, a supermarket in Musaffah Industrial Area, a poultry farm in Al Ajban area, a commercial facility in Al Shahama area and a grocery store in Musaffah area 9 in Abu Dhabi. The ADAFSA affirmed that annual awareness and inspection campaigns on facilities were ongoing before, during and after Ramadan, noting that the objective of inspection campaigns was to ensure that facilities abide by food safety standards. It reiterated its commitment to educating those who deal with these establishments about best practices to ensure the safety of food supplies provided to consumers. Through its social media pages, the ADAFSA urged the public to rest assured that all available food products were inspected and monitored regularly and continuously through inspection campaigns of restaurants, central kitchens, cafes and other food facilities. It also called on the public to communicate with it and report any violations in any food facility by calling the Abu Dhabi Government's toll-free number 800555, enabling its inspectors to take the necessary action for safe food for all members of society in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
