According to the latest available statistics, there are more than 13,000 restaurants located all over Kuwait. While most of them have all the required licenses to operate and are regularly inspected by the food and health authorities of the municipality, a significant number serve food to customers without a license and they do not seem to come under the purview of the municipality.
These unlicensed venues often cook and serve food in unhygienic surroundings, and the food is usually cooked from ingredients that are past their expiry date or are discarded from wholesale markets.
People who have experienced or at least witnessed the unhygienic operations of these so-called ‘restaurants’ are urging the authorities to monitor and take urgent action against these unhygienic food purveyors.
One such ‘restaurant’ owner even boasted that he has enough ‘wasta’ and as such does not require any license to operate.
