The premises, located at Shop C1 on the ground floor of Kwun Wing Building of 353 - 357 Un Chau Street, was ordered to suspend business from today (July 17) to July 30.
"Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop licensee in March and May of this year. A total fine of $6,800 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 licence suspension," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee concerned had a record of two convictions for the same offence in August and October of last year. A total fine of $4,700 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension this February.
The spokesman reminded 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 their 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).
