Abu Dhabi: Hypermarket shut for multiple health violations

The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) said Rishee’s New Gen Hypermarket in Abu Dhabi has been shut down for not adhering to general hygiene guidelines and multiple other health and safety violations.

It failed to close sewage openings and repair cracks in the floor. The facility also did not store foodstuff in a hygienic manner, leaving it exposed to contamination.

Insects were also detected at the facility.

Despite repeated warnings, the hypermarket management failed to implement changes. Three warnings were issued from April 25 to June 7.

The hypermarket will remain closed till it rectifies the hygiene shortcomings and ensures health and food safety.

The ADAFSA has urged residents to report food safety complaints to 800555.
