******************************************************************
The premises, DurianBB Limited, located at a portion of Flat B on the second floor of King Win Factory Building at 65-67 King Yip Street, Kwun Tong, was ordered to suspend business from today (January 8) to January 21.
"In May last year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop. A total fine of $40,600 was levied by the court and 15 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the 14-day licence suspension," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee of the shop had a record of two convictions for the same offence in January last year. A total fine of $40,300 was levied and 15 demerit points were also registered. The breaches led to a licence suspension for seven days in October last 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 have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
