FEHD orders Kwun Tong food factory to suspend business for 14 days

     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a food factory in Kwun Tong to suspend business for 14 days as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by operating an unlicensed restaurant.
      
     The premises, Mila, located at Shop No. 45 on the ground floor of E Plaza, 7 Shing Yip Street, Kwun Tong, was ordered to suspend business from today (March 30) to April 12.
      
     "In July and December last year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop. A total fine of $7,000 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 of the shop had a record of two convictions for the same offence in August and September 2019. A total fine of $6,000 was levied and 15 demerit points were also registered. The breaches led to licence suspension for a total of seven days in May and July last year.
      
     The spokesman reminded the 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/index.html).
