FEHD cancels licence of restaurant in Fanling
*********************************************
     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene today (August 20) cancelled the licence of a restaurant in Fanling, as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by illegally extending the business area.
     
     The restaurant is located on the ground floor of Fu Yin Building at 25 Luen On Street, Fanling.
     
     "In May this year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the operator of the restaurant. A total fine of $6,000 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 cancellation of the licence," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
     
     The licensee of the food premises had a record of four convictions for the same offence between June last year and March this year. A total fine of $23,500 was levied and 60 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspensions for seven days in August last year and 14 days in June this 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 have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-rest.html).
