The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition directed its Hawally Governorate Inspection Department to examine multiple food establishments in the governorate. The campaign produced 32 violation reports along with four destruction reports and two commitments, the authority said in a statement. Inspectors seized quantities that violated applicable regulations and arranged for their destruction while legal measures were enacted against the implicated establishments and individuals. The authority noted that such actions form part of routine regulatory activity in the area.
According to the Public Authority for Food and Nutrition, the inspections aim to confirm that operators meet required health and safety standards and to reduce risks that could affect consumers. The statement positioned the September 4 campaign as one element within the authority’s wider program to maintain food safety levels across Kuwait. This tally of violations ranks among the higher counts recorded in recent operations targeting the same governorate.
An August 23 campaign by the same department in Hawally resulted in 23 violations that included food handlers lacking valid health certificates and one worker displaying visible wounds, Arab Times reported.[[1]](https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/wounded-worker-expired-licenses-among-23-food-safety-violations-found-in-hawally/) That inspection also identified expired health licenses, failures to meet hygiene and technical requirements, and the use of space beyond licensed boundaries. The authority applied necessary enforcement steps in each case.
A subsequent August 25 operation in Hawally yielded 11 violation reports and the destruction of 96 kilograms of adulterated meat of unknown origin, according to Arab Times.[[2]](https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/hawally-inspectors-seize-and-destroy-96kg-of-adulterated-meat/) Those inspections likewise highlighted deficiencies in health certificates, general hygiene standards and overall compliance. The sequence of campaigns demonstrates the department’s sustained attention to food outlets in the governorate.
The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition maintains a calendar of similar field inspections throughout Kuwait’s six governorates. Earlier actions have addressed an array of issues from improper storage to documentation failures, records from multiple campaigns show. No breakdown of the specific violations detected on September 4 was included in the authority’s announcement.
Comparable enforcement drives have continued without interruption in 2026, with Hawally featuring repeatedly in official updates. The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition has not disclosed cumulative national figures for the year in its latest release. These operations remain a central component of the authority’s mandate to oversee food safety standards.
