IRBID — The Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) sealed a shawerma restaurant in Irbid on Monday with red wax and referred two of its employees to court over health violations.

JFDA Irbid Director Ashraf Daradkeh said the administration’s inspectors found major irregularities at the restaurant, noting that employees tend to mix meat leftovers with fresh meat and sell it.

The two violating employees were detained for a week pending further investigation, Daradkeh said, adding that the JFDA destroyed 60 kilogrammes of meat found at the restaurant.
