FEHD cancels licence of restaurant in Yuen Long
The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene today (November 9) cancelled the licence of a general restaurant in Yuen Long, as the licensee repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) for dirty food room and failing to maintain its sanitary fitments. The restaurant concerned has had to cease operation with immediate effect.
The restaurant is located at Shop B on the ground floor of Siu Ming Building, 44, 46 and 50 Kau Yuk Road, 10-12 Yuen Long Hong Lok Road, Yuen Long.
"Eight convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant licensee in August this year. A total fine of $4,000 was levied by the court and 65 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, licensing requirements and conditions, 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 are licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-search.html).
