Forty-two restaurants and cafeterias shut shop last year

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.
