FEHD orders Sham Shui Po fresh provision shop to suspend business for 14 days
*****************************************************************************
The shop, located on the ground floor at Shop B, 8 Fat Tseung Street, Sham Shui Po, was ordered to suspend business from today (November 12) to November 25.
"In January and August this year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop. A total fine of $2,200 was levied by the court and 30 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the 14-day business suspension," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee of the fresh provision shop had a record of two convictions for the same offence in November and December last year. A total fine of $2,200 was levied and 30 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days between late February and early March this year.
The spokesman reminded the licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
Licensed food premises are required to exhibit a sign, at a conspicuous place near the main entrance, indicating that the premises are licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
