FEHD orders fresh provision shop in Mong Kok to suspend business for 14 days
****************************************************************************
The shop, located at Shop B on the ground floor at 1 Argyle Street, has been ordered to suspend business from today (March 14) to March 27.
"Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the licensee of the shop in August last year and January this year. A total fine of $4,600 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 July and August last year. A total fine of $4,200 was levied, and 30 demerit points were registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension in October 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 are licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-search.html).
