A bakery in Sharjah has been shut down for violating hygiene protocols, after a baker was caught on camera licking his hand and then touching a piece of bread.
In a report by Khaleej Times, the Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) has ordered the suspension of the bakery after inspectors went to there to investigate the situation. The Sharjah Municipality has issued the directive, as well as confiscated the bakery’s products after authorities got ahold of the video showing the baker’s violation.
