*******************************************************************
     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a general restaurant in Yuen Long to suspend business for 21 days, as the licensee repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally.

     The restaurant, located at Shop 1 on the ground floor of Ying Cheung House, 21-23 Kau Yuk Road, Yuen Long, was ordered to suspend business from today (July 4) to July 24.

     "Four convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant licensee in December of last year, with a total fine of $28,500 levied by the court. Ninety demerit points were also registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system, resulting in a seven-day and a 14-day business suspensions to be executed 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 and other relevant regulations, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.

     Licensed food premises are required to exhibit its licence and a sign at a conspicuous place of the premises, indicating that the premises have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-search.html).
