DOHA: Al Khor-Al Dhakhira Municipality has permanently shut down a supermarket operating without licence at an animal farm in Al Khor.
The municipality’s inspectors, in collaboration with Criminal Investigation Department and Al Shamal Security Department, found the supermarket selling food without the necessary permit, in violation of Law No. 8 of 1990 on Regulation of Human Food Control. Other violations included not putting labels on some food items and not complying with health standards.
The director of the municipality has referred the case to concerned authorities to complete legal procedures.
Meanwhile, a resident complained against a restaurant in Al Najma, saying it was preparing food and storing it inside a labour accommodation in the same area.
After thorough checking, inspectors from the Health Monitoring Section at Doha Municipality found that the restaurant was storing food supplies at room temperature and preparing food in unhealthy conditions at a labour accommodation and then bringing it to the restaurant.
Legal procedures were taken against the restaurant for violating Law No. 8 of 1990 on regulation of human food control.
The section said inspection campaigns will continue to register such violations. It praised the resident’s complaint and said support by the people will help ensure food safety. Al Shamal Municipality also held inspection campaigns against food outlets and restaurants.
The director of the municipality and inspectors visited Al Shamal abattoir, the fish market and poultry farm.
All municipalities have intensified inspection campaigns against food outlets, abattoirs, barber shops, beauty salons, sweet shops and restaurants across the country ahead of Eid Al Adha to ensure consumer safety. The Doha Municipality will conduct daily inspection of food stores at Industrial Area or in the central market.
