asmaa - | Arab News

An Abu Dhabi cafeteria is facing administrative closure for breaching food safety regulations, as outlined in Law No. 2  of 2008 concerning food in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and its associated legislation.

UAE Cafeteria Faces Closure Over Food Safety Violations

The Spot Karak Cafeteria in Abu Dhabi has been deemed a significant risk to public health following the discovery of insects in the food preparation area. The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority has taken decisive action to address this critical issue.

The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority has issued an order for the administrative closure of Spot Karak Cafeteria due to its violation of food safety requirements and repeated high-risk infractions. These violations have directly compromised food safety standards, particularly with the presence of insects in the food preparation area.

The administrative closure order will remain in effect until the cafeteria rectifies the situation and meets all necessary requirements to ensure compliance with food safety regulations. The establishment is required to take immediate corrective action to address the identified issues before it can resume its operations.

Compliance and Resumption of Operations

Spot Karak Cafeteria has the opportunity to rectify the situation and demonstrate full compliance with food safety regulations. Once the necessary corrective measures are implemented and verified by the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority, the cafeteria may be permitted to reopen its doors to the public.

The administrative closure of Spot Karak Cafeteria underscores the UAE's commitment to upholding stringent food safety standards to protect public health. By enforcing compliance with relevant legislation, authorities aim to safeguard consumers from potential health risks associated with foodborne illnesses. The closure serves as a reminder to all food establishments of the importance of adhering to food safety regulations and maintaining high standards of hygiene and cleanliness in their operations.

The closure of Spot Karak Cafeteria highlights the proactive measures taken by regulatory authorities in Abu Dhabi to ensure the highest standards of food safety and hygiene are maintained across all food establishments in the emirate. By swiftly addressing violations and imposing necessary penalties, authorities send a clear message that non-compliance with food safety regulations will not be tolerated. This incident underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and enforcement efforts to protect public health and maintain consumer confidence in the safety and quality of food products available in the UAE.
