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).
