FEHD cancels licence of food factory in Sham Shui Po
****************************************************
     ​The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene today (April 26) cancelled the licence of a food factory in Sham Shui Po, as the licensee repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally. The premises concerned have had to cease operation with immediate effect.
      
     The premises are located at Shop C2 on the ground floor of 353-357 Un Chau Street in Cheung Sha Wan.
      
     "Four convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop licensee between November last year and January this year. A total fine of $8,600 was levied by the court and 90 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 concerned had a record of two convictions for the same offence in August and October last year. A total fine of $4,800 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered, resulting in a seven-day licence suspension this February.
      
     The spokesman reminded the licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR and other relevant regulations, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
      
     Licensed food premises are required to exhibit its licence and a sign at a conspicuous place of the premises, indicating that the premises have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-search.html).
