FEHD orders Sham Shui Po light refreshment restaurant to suspend business for 14 days
*************************************************************************************
The premises, located on the ground floor of 204 Lai Chi Kok Road, was ordered to suspend business from today (February 19) to March 4.
"In October and December last year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breaches were recorded against the shop. A total fine of $7,000 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 storing and preparing food in an open space and extending the business area illegally in May and June last year. A total fine of $2,600 was levied and 15 demerit points were also registered. The breaches led to a licence suspension for seven days in August 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).
