FEHD orders Mong Kok fresh provision shop to suspend business for 21 days
The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a fresh provision shop in Mong Kok to suspend business for 21 days as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by storing and preparing food in open space.
The shop, located at a portion of Shop G on the ground floor of Cheung Fai Mansion, 22 Tong Mi Road, Mong Kok, was ordered to suspend business from today (July 22) to August 11, 2022.
"Four convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop last December and this April. A total fine of $6,100 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 a seven-day licence suspension and a 14-day licence suspension running consecutively," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The spokesman reminded the licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
Licensed food premises are required to exhibit a sign, at a conspicuous place near the main entrance, indicating that the premises have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
Ends/Friday, July 22, 2022
