KUWAIT CITY, Apr 18: The General Authority for Food and Nutrition has ordered the closure of a food establishment in the Hawalli Governorate after inspectors recorded multiple health and safety violations.

Inspectors also found that the establishment had illegally used space outside its licensed boundaries and that food was handled by a worker without a valid health certificate. Another employee was found working without obtaining the required certification.

The Authority أكد that intensive inspection campaigns will continue around the clock, with strict legal action taken against violators to ensure consumer safety and uphold public health standards across Kuwait’s food sector.
