Abu Dhabi shuts down butcher shop over repeated food safety violations

## Closure of Ahal Al Raya Butchery

Abu Dhabi authorities have shut down Ahal Al Raya Butchery in the Hadbat Al Zafranah area due to repeated violations of food safety regulations. The decision was made by the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority after the establishment failed to address ongoing health risks.

## Violations and Compliance

The butcher shop, operating under commercial licence CN-2510591, breached Abu Dhabi’s Food Law No. 2 of 2008. The closure will remain until the shop rectifies all violations and complies fully with food safety standards. Only after meeting these conditions will the business be allowed to reopen.

## Public Health and Safety Measures

This action is part of Abu Dhabi's broader initiative to enhance food safety oversight. The authority conducts regular inspections to protect consumers and maintain public health standards. Residents are encouraged to report any food safety concerns through the government’s toll-free number 800555, ensuring swift action by inspectors.
