Dubai: Forty-two food
establishments, including restaurants
and cafeterias were closed for various violations by the Dubai Municipality
last year.
These establishments
faced temporary closures and were allowed to reopen after taking corrective
measures, a senior Dubai Municipality official told XPRESS.
“Last year, 42 food outlets were
closed and all of these closures were temporary. We gave the outlets time to
take measures as required after which they were allowed to operate again,”
Sultan Ali Tahir, Head of the Food Inspection Section of the Dubai
Municipality, told XPRESS.
The worst violations included
pests in the environment, food being contaminated in various stages of
preparation and storage, display of expired foods and also a lack of general
cleanliness.
When a violation is detected, the
food establishment faces a penalty and is warned to take remedial action. If
the violation is repeated, the fine is doubled. According to food safety
experts, a resident should be conscious of the overall cleanliness and safety
of the food one is consuming.
The civic body also started
inspections of school canteens last week to ensure that the food supplier is
approved and the food available in canteens is safe for consumption.
