Abu Dhabi Authority Issues Administrative Closure Order for Supermarket Due to Food Safety Violations

In a recent development, a supermarket in Abu Dhabi was forced to shut down due to a serious violation of food safety regulations. The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority issued an administrative closure order for “High Quality Foodstuff Trading – One Person Company LLC” located in Musaffah, Abu Dhabi. The reason behind this drastic action was the discovery of live poultry being sold in a storeroom alongside preserved food items, posing a significant risk to consumer health.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to food safety regulations and the consequences of failing to do so. The authority emphasized that the closure order will remain in place until the issues are rectified, and the establishment meets all the necessary food safety requirements. This serves as a warning to all food establishments in Abu Dhabi that they are subject to regular inspections to ensure compliance with food safety standards.

It is crucial for consumers to remain vigilant and report any suspicions or violations they observe regarding food safety. The Abu Dhabi authority has provided a toll-free number (800555) for the public to report any concerns they may have. This incident highlights the authority’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of consumers in Abu Dhabi.

As consumers, it is essential to be aware of the food safety standards in place and to support authorities in their efforts to maintain these standards.
