Avatar

Nearly a quarter of Dubai’s sharwarma outlets have been shut down by the Dubai Municipality due to health concerns.

The Municipality is implementing new health and safety requirements for the preparation and sale of the popular sandwiches, and has been giving outlets their last warnings. 

Food establishments had six months to make the necessary changes but 141 shops did not get up to scratch in time

So have been indefinitely shut down 

“Out of the 573 shawarma outlets in Dubai, 425 were found to be compliant with our hygiene rules, while seven were in the process of applying the requirements.” 

Sultan Ali Al Tahir, Head of Food Inspection Section in the Food Safety Department of Dubai Municipality.
