FEHD cancels licence of fresh provision shop in Ngau Tau Kok

************************************************************

     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene today (December 14) cancelled the licence of a fresh provision shop in Ngau Tau Kok, after the licensee was issued with three warning letters for breaching a licensing condition for failing to properly connect the sink to public mains water supply and the proper drainage systems with subsequent breach still being detected thereafter. The shop concerned has to cease operation with immediate effect.

     The fresh provision shop is located at Shop 19 on the ground floor of Shiu King Building, 179 Ngau Tau Kok Road.

     A spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said, "Food premises shall have their sink connected to public mains water supply or source of water supply approved by the Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene and fitted with a waste pipe connected to a proper drainage system in order to comply with the hygiene standard. Continuous breach of the said licensing condition is liable to cancellation of the licence concerned."

     People should call the FEHD's hotline at 2868 0000 to report such irregularities.

     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).
