The food control report stated that the administrative closure decision followed the cafeteria’s repeated highly dangerous violations and its failure to meet the health and food safety requirements and take corrective measures. It said three fines and a warning of administrative closure were previously issued against the cafeteria.
The administrative closure order would remain in effect until the cafeteria fulfilled all the requirements for healthy and safe food, the ADAFSA said.
The ADAFSA indicated that the closure and detection of the observed violations came as part of the inspection efforts aimed at strengthening the food safety system in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and ensuring the abidance of all facilities by food safety requirements. All facilities, irrespective of their nature and food products, are subject to regular inspection, it added.
The ADAFSA called on the public to communicate with it and report any food violations by calling the Government of Abu Dhabi’s toll-free number 800555, enabling its inspectors to take the necessary measures with the ultimate aim of providing safe food to all Abu Dhabi inhabitants.
