FEHD orders restaurant in Kai Tak to suspend business for 14 days
*****************************************************************
The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a general restaurant in Kai Tak to suspend business for 14 days, as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally.
The restaurant, LA MENSA GRILL & BAR, located at Shop D-F on the ground floor of 10 Muk Ning Street, was ordered to suspend business from today (January 12) to January 25.
“Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant operator last June and September. A total fine of $5,800 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 May last year. A total fine of $5,000 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension during August and September last year.
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 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).
