The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department today (October 9) lifted the closure order imposed earlier on "Tai Fu Kwai" roast meat shop at Phase 4, Sunshine City, Ma On Shan, Sha Tin.
"The food premises was closed on September 4, following reports of a cluster of food poisoning cases related to it. The operator has taken remedial measures after the closure, including thorough cleaning, disinfection of the premises and improvements in workflow procedures," a department spokesman said.
"During our latest inspection of the food premises, we were satisfied that the immediate health hazards on the premises had been eliminated.
"We have also reminded the operator and staff members to observe good personal, environmental and food hygiene at all times.
"The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has therefore decided to rescind the closure order and allow the food premises to resume operation with immediate effect," the spokesman said.
