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.
     Â
     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.
     Â
   “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.
     Â
     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.
     Â
     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.
     Â
     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).
