UAE: Food Catering Service Shut Down for Being a ‘Danger to Public Health’
The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority has asked a catering service to shut down.
The authority has issued an administrative closure decision against the ‘Royal Catering Services’ facility in Abu Dhabi, Al Dhafra – Ghayathi.
The food facility held the commercial licence number CN-1049959 and violated Law No. 2 of 2008 regarding food in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The authority informed residents of the closure through a post on Instagram. The authority said that the decision was taken after some confirmed cases of E. coli poisoning.
Some people had reportedly had a white bean salad with meat that was contaminated with bacteria, causing the authority to announce the shutdown.
