Abu Dhabi: A supermarket has been closed in Abu Dhabi for selling live poultry in a storage area within the outlet, alongside preserved food.
The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) issued a decision to administratively close the store, named High Quality Foodstuff Trading, due to the establishment’s violation of food safety requirements.
“Its practices pose a significant risk to public health,” ADAFSA posted on its X account.
