Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) has issued a decision to administratively close CHABRA Restaurant in ICAD Residential City, Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. The establishment, holding trade license number (CN-1166231), has been found in violation of Law No. (2) of 2008 regarding food in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and its associated legislation. Furthermore, its practices pose a significant risk to public health.
ADAFSA’s food control report revealed that the administrative closure decision came because of repeated violations affecting food safety, and the establishment’s failure to take effective corrective action to address this non-compliance, which affects food safety and consumer health. Three violations were issued, alongside a closure warning for the infestation of insects within the establishment. Moreover, the failure to present a pest control report, improper storage of food and beverages leading to contamination, and unclean cooking equipment contributed to the decision.
The Authority also affirmed that the administrative closure order will remain in effect as long as its causes exist. The establishment may resume operations after rectifying its situation and fulfilling all the necessary requirements for practicing the activity, and removing the causes of the violation.
In addition, ADAFSA highlighted that the closure and the identification of observed violations are part of ongoing inspection efforts to strengthen the food safety system in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It underscores its supervisory role in ensuring that all establishments comply with food safety requirements. All types of establishments and food products are subject to periodic inspections by ADAFSA’s inspectors to guarantee compliance with the highest food safety standards.
The Authority also encourages the public to communicate with them and report any violations detected in any food establishment, such as non-compliance or suspicion of food content, by calling the toll-free number for the Abu Dhabi Government, 800555. ADAFSA’s inspectors will take the necessary measures to ensure the delivery of safe and sound food to all members of the community in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
