The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority has taken a decisive step by issuing an administrative closure order against "High Quality Foodstuff Trading - One Person Company LLC" in the Musaffah area of Abu Dhabi.
Violation of Food Regulations
An administrative closure order has been issued by the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority against "High Quality Foodstuff Trading—One Person Company LLC," located in Abu Dhabi's Musaffah district. This is a firm decision. The facility's disregard for public health and its disregard for Abu Dhabi's food-regulating laws (specifically Law No. 2 of 2008) necessitated this action.
Breaches in Food Safety
According to the authority, a food control report highlighted the facility's breach of food safety standards, particularly its practice of selling live poultry alongside preserved food items within the supermarket. Such a practice undermines food safety protocols and jeopardizes consumer health.
The administrative closure order will remain in effect until the facility rectifies its deficiencies, meets all necessary requirements for operation, and addresses the root causes of the violation. Once these conditions are met, the facility may resume its operations. The authority emphasized its commitment to ensuring food safety by conducting regular inspections of all establishments, irrespective of their nature or the types of food products they handle.
This closure and the identification of violations reflect the authority's ongoing efforts to bolster the food safety regime in Abu Dhabi. It underscores the supervisory role played by the authority in ensuring compliance with food safety standards. Regular inspections by the authority's inspectors are essential to guaranteeing adherence to these standards across all establishments.
The authority urges the public to report any observed violations or suspicions regarding food items by contacting the Abu Dhabi Government's toll-free number, 800555. This proactive approach enables the authority's inspectors to take prompt action to uphold food safety standards and ensure the well-being of all members of society in Abu Dhabi.
In line with its commitment to community engagement, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority encourages public participation in ensuring food safety. By reporting observed violations or suspicions regarding food items, residents play a crucial role in upholding standards and safeguarding public health. This collaborative approach not only facilitates prompt action by the authority's inspectors but also fosters a culture of accountability and responsibility among all stakeholders. Through collective efforts, Abu Dhabi can maintain its reputation for ensuring safe and wholesome food for its residents and visitors alike.
