FEHD orders food factory in Kwai Chung to suspend business for 14 days
The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a food factory in Kwai Chung to suspend business for 14 days, as the licensee repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by operating an unlicensed restaurant and extending the business area illegally.
The premises, located at Shop 11 on the ground floor of Cheong Wang Mansion at 539 Castle Peak Road, was ordered to suspend business from today (April 23) to May 6.
"Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop licensee in August of last year and January of this year. A total fine of $8,300 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 concerned had a record of two convictions for extending the business area illegally in April and June of last year. A total fine of $6,000 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension during August and 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).
