***********************************************
The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a restaurant in Tuen Mun to suspend business for 14 days. The operator repeatedly extended food business illegally, in breach of the Food Business Regulation.
The restaurant, located at Shop 11 on the ground floor of Glorious Garden at 45 Lung Mun Road, was ordered to suspend business from today (November 25) to December 8.
"In May and September this year, two convictions on the breach were recorded against the food premises," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department said.
"A total fine of $2,000 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 business suspension," he added.
He said the food premises licensee also had two convictions in April 2009 and January this year for the same offence. Another total fine of $2,000 was levied and 30 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days from March 31 to April 6 this year.
The spokesman reminded licensees of food premises to comply with the Food Business Regulation, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
