Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) has administratively and temporarily closed Yummy Indian Bite Restaurant-L.L.C) in Abu Dhabi, which holds commercial licence CN-2837801, for violating Law No (2) of 2008 regarding food in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the legislation issued thereunder, as well as for its risk to public health.

ADAFSA explained that the food inspection report stated that the administrative closure decision was issued due to repeated food safety violations and the failure to implement effective corrective measures, which necessitated taking immediate action to ensure food safety and consumer health.
