Abu Dhabi shuts down restaurant in Al Ain for repeated violation of food safety law

Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) issued a decision administratively shutting down Taj Al Zumuruda Restaurant in Al Waha Al Amirah area in Al Ain, which holds trade licence no. CN-1116967, for violating law no. 2 for 2008 regarding food in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the regulations issued thereunder and posing a danger to public health.

ADAFSA explained that the food control report stated that the administrative closure decision followed the facility’s repeated violations of food safety requirements and its failure to correct these violations, which necessitated an instant measure to be taken to ensure food safety and consumers’ health.

The administrative closure order would remain in effect until the restaurant fulfilled all the requirements for healthy and safe food, it said.

ADAFSA indicated that the closure and detection of the observed violations came as part of its plan to strengthen the food safety system in Abu Dhabi and ensure the abidance of all facilities by food safety requirements, noting that all facilities are subject to regular inspection for proactive protection of consumers.

Meanwhile, 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.
