Abu Dhabi Food Safety Authority closed three restaurants for breaching food safety rules.

Amina Restaurant; City Starts Foods; and Al Sultan Hut Cafeteria in Al Ain were closed for several reasons, including improper storage, insect infestations, poor hygiene and incorrect labelling.

All outlets were warned several times before inspectors moved in and shut them down.

A case of food poisoning was traced back to one of the three.

The closures will remain in force until management rectifies the situation.

Inspectors regularly sweep through the emirate's restaurants to safeguard public health and ensure restaurants are comply with food safety requirements.

The public is urged to report any issues by calling 800555.
