Abu Dhabi shuts down restaurant for posing significant risk to public health
Authorities in UAE's capital Abu Dhabi have shut down a restaurant for posing a "significant risk to public health."
On Tuesday, April 29, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (Adafsa) said that it shut down Select Restaurant in Al Falah Street in Abu Dhabi.
The restaurant, holding trade license number CN-1023844, has been found in violation of Law No. (2) of 2008 regarding food in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and its associated legislation. Furthermore, its practices pose a significant risk to public health, the authority said.
On Thursday, April 10, the authority decided to administratively close Kohinoor restaurant located in New Shahamah for posing a significant risk to public health.
In 2024, a number of dining outlets and eateries in the emirate were closed down for failing to comply with the emirate's regulations.
The authority conducts regular checks of eateries and restaurants in the emirate, often shutting down places that are not operating up to local standards or violating food-related health and safety laws.
