Abu Dhabi shuts down food trading firm over public health violations
Abu Dhabi authorities have ordered the administrative closure of MS Food Trading after the establishment violated Law No. (2) of 2008, which governs food safety in the emirate. The decision, issued by the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (Adafsa), cites the business as posing a risk to public health.
Reason for Closure
Adafsa officials found that MS Food Trading failed to comply with safety regulations that apply to all businesses handling food, including restaurants, groceries, and trading firms. The violation triggered immediate enforcement action due to the potential threat to consumers.
Under the law, food violations are taken seriously if they involve:
Poisonous or toxic substances
Excessive pesticide residues
Banned food additives
Radioactive contamination
Harmful allergens or veterinary drug residues
Expired or bacteria-contaminated food
Worm-infested items
Cross-contamination during handling
Meat from sick or improperly slaughtered animals
Misleading food labels or adulterated products
Adafsa conducts routine inspections across Abu Dhabi to monitor food-related businesses and enforce food safety standards.
Will the Business Reopen?
The closure is not necessarily permanent. According to Law No. (2) of 2008, the authority may keep the business closed:
Until the owner addresses and corrects the violation, or
Until a final court decision is issued
Reopening can only occur after official approval from Adafsa. The law ensures that no establishment resumes operations unless it meets all safety and compliance requirements.
