Qatar’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has ordered the suspension of Talabat’s operations for one week after finding that the food delivery platform misled customers with false information.
In a statement, the MoCI explained that the administrative closure was issued as a penalty for “displaying or describing goods with false or misleading information,” which resulted in deceiving consumers and unlawfully taking their money without ensuring proper service.
Authorities confirmed that the violations fall under Articles 7 and 11 of Law No. 8 of 2008 on Consumer Protection and its executive regulations.
The ministry stressed that such actions compromise consumer trust and emphasized its commitment to holding companies accountable to ensure transparency and fair practices in the marketplace.
