Additionally, a confectionery factory was shut down for using expired food ingredients in the preparation of sweets and cakes. The Authority clarified that the seizure of food establishments operating within private residences was conducted in coordination with the Ministry of Interior and supporting government entities, with violation reports issued and necessary legal measures taken, paving the way for referring the violators to the Public Prosecution. Furthermore, an inspection round at food establishments in the Al-Farwaniyah governorate uncovered violations related to the handling of adulterated food and failure to comply with general hygiene requirements, alongside the issuance of two destruction reports and the destruction of 182 kilograms of meat of unknown origin.
