The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene today (June 30) cancelled the licence of a restaurant in Yuen Long, as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by illegally extending the business area.
The restaurant is located at Shop Nos. 3, 4 and 7 on the ground floor of Chi Fu Centre at 56 Yau San Street, Yuen Long.
"In February this year, eight convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the licensee of the restaurant. A total fine of $32,000 was levied by the court and 180 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the cancellation of the licence," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
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/licence-foodPremises-rest.html).
