FEHD orders restaurant in Sham Shui Po to suspend business for 14 days
**********************************************************************
The restaurant, located at Shops A and B on the ground floor of Career Court on 56-58 Tonkin Street, was ordered to suspend business from today (August 6) to August 19.
"Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant licensee in May and June this year. A total fine of $7000 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 licence suspension," 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 March and June last year. A total fine of $7,050 was levied, and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension during September 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 their licence and a sign at a conspicuous place of the premises, indicating that the premises has been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-search.html).
