Abu Dhabi's retail market is free from any horsemeat, according to the emirate's food safety regulator, amid a growing scandal across Europe.
No horsemeat is present in any foods at any wholesalers or vendors in the emirate, said the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA), the body responsible for food safety and agriculture in the emirate.
Mohammed Al Reyaysa, a spokesperson for ADFCA, said a comprehensive survey conducted upon receiving alerts from WHO's International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) confirmed there are no meat products that violate the standards in the emirate.
ADFCA is aware of all updates, alerts and international developments relating to food safety monitoring and takes immediate measures to ensure no products that violate food safety standards, he said in comments published by news agency WAM.
