Closure of a popular restaurant in Bin Qar after the seizure of food unfit for human consumption

The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition announced that its joint inspection rounds resulted in the closure of a well-known restaurant in the Bani Qar area and the issuance of 10 violation reports in the Al-Aridiyah Marine District. Five of these reports concerned food handlers operating without health certificates, and five were issued against business owners for employing workers without health certificates.

In a statement, the Authority highlighted that among the most prominent violations were the circulation of food unfit for human consumption and contaminated with Salmonella bacteria, as well as the handling of food under unsanitary conditions and the absence of technical and health requirements, which exposed the food to contamination. The violations also included non-compliance with hygiene rules and requirements, the discovery of dirt and live insects inside the establishment, operating the facility after its health license had expired, and the presence of workers who did not hold health certificates.

The Authority emphasized that its inspection rounds are part of ongoing joint supervisory efforts to ensure compliance with health requirements, take legal action against violators, and contribute to protecting the health and safety of consumers while strengthening the regulatory framework for food establishments.
