FEHD orders Kwun Tong restaurant to suspend business for 14 days
****************************************************************
The restaurant, located at Shop B on the ground floor at 50-68 Shui Wo Street, Kwun Tong, was ordered to suspend business from today (November 18) to December 1.
"In June and July this year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant. A total fine of $5,000 was levied by the court and 15 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 December last year and January this year respectively. A total fine of $5,500 was levied and 15 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days in August this 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).
