A supermarket in Abu Dhabi has been ordered to close after inspectors found it had breached health and safety rules.
High Quality Foodstuff Trading in Musaffah was closed “for posing a significant risk to public health”, Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority said on Monday.
Inspectors found live poultry being stored improperly in an area along with preserved food, in breach of food safety guidelines.
The supermarket will remain closed until the issues have been rectified, the authority said.
The food safety authority regularly carries out inspections to check standards in the UAE capital are met.
Since the beginning of the year, the body has ordered the closure of five outlets for failing to meet safety standards.
In March, the authority shut down two butchers, a restaurant and a supermarket after repeated food safety breaches.
A cockroach infestation and improper labelling of imported meat were reported at Al Amal Butchery and Al Ayham Butchery in Mushrif Mall, while the Saveway supermarket in Al Khalidiya had continued to stock expired food products on their shelves despite warnings.
The Toshka Cafeteria was shut down in February after inspectors found unhygienic work conditions and rodents.
The authority reminded the public to report suspected breaches by calling the Abu Dhabi government contact centre on 800 555.

The five stages of early child’s play
From Dubai-based clinical psychologist Daniella Salazar:
1. Solitary Play: This is where Infants and toddlers start to play on their own without seeming to notice the people around them. This is the beginning of play.
2. Onlooker play: This occurs where the toddler enjoys watching other people play. There doesn’t necessarily need to be any effort to begin play. They are learning how to imitate behaviours from others. This type of play may also appear in children who are more shy and introverted.
3. Parallel Play: This generally starts when children begin playing side-by-side without any interaction. Even though they aren’t physically interacting they are paying attention to each other. This is the beginning of the desire to be with other children.
4. Associative Play: At around age four or five, children become more interested in each other than in toys and begin to interact more. In this stage children start asking questions and talking about the different activities they are engaging in. They realise they have similar goals in play such as building a tower or playing with cars.
5. Social Play: In this stage children are starting to socialise more. They begin to share ideas and follow certain rules in a game. They slowly learn the definition of teamwork. They get to engage in basic social skills and interests begin to lead social interactions.

Chef Nobu's advice for eating sushi
“One mistake people always make is adding extra wasabi. There is no need for this, because it should already be there between the rice and the fish.
“When eating nigiri, you must dip the fish – not the rice – in soy sauce, otherwise the rice will collapse. Also, don’t use too much soy sauce or it will make you thirsty. For sushi rolls, dip a little of the rice-covered roll lightly in soy sauce and eat in one bite.
“Chopsticks are acceptable, but really, I recommend using your fingers for sushi. Do use chopsticks for sashimi, though.
“The ginger should be eaten separately as a palette cleanser and used to clear the mouth when switching between different pieces of fish.”
