The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a general restaurant in Sham Shui Po to suspend business for 14 days, as the licensee repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) for illegal extension of the food business area and dirty food room.
                  
     The restaurant, located at Shop H and the outside seating accommodation at the shop front on the ground floor of Career Court on 56-58 Tonkin Street, was ordered to suspend business from today (December 6) to December 19.
                  
     "Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant licensee in July and September this year. A total fine of $5,500 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 licence suspension," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
                  
     The licensee concerned had a record of two convictions for extending the business area illegally in February and November last year. A total fine of $7,700 was levied, and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension between January and February 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 their licence and a sign at a conspicuous place of the premises, indicating that the premises has been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-search.html).
