FEHD orders light refreshment restaurant in Jordan to suspend business for 14 days
**********************************************************************************
The restaurant, located at shops C, D, E and F on the ground floor of 100 Woosung Street, Jordan, was ordered to suspend business from today (January 18) to January 31.
"In October and November last year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant. A total fine of $19,400 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 restaurant had a record of two convictions for the same offence in January and April last year. A total fine of $13,600 was levied and 30 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days in July last year.
The spokesman reminded 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).
