The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a fresh provision shop in Sheung Shui to suspend business for 14 days, as the licensee repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally.

     The shop, located at Shop 17 on level one of Lung Fung Garden on 33 Lung Sum Avenue, was ordered to suspend business from today (September 21) to October 4.

     "Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop licensee in July this year. A total fine of $3,000 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 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 April this year. A total fine of $10,000 was levied, and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension between June and July 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 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).
