FEHD orders Quarry Bay light refreshment restaurant to suspend business for 14 days
***********************************************************************************
The restaurant, located on the ground floor of 7 Hoi Hong Street, Quarry Bay, was ordered to suspend business from today (January 14) to January 27.
"In September and November last year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the food establishment. A total fine of $11,000 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," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee of the food premises had a record of two convictions for the same offence in September 2015 and January last year. A total fine of $10,200 was levied and 30 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days in March 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 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).
