KEEP KITCHENS CLEAN. OPERATORS TOLD
*****
OPERATORS OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENT IN THE NON-URBAN AREAS WERE TODAY WARNED OF THE NEED TO KEEP THEIR KITCHENS IN A HYGIENIC CONDITION OR FACE PROSECUTION.
THE REMINDER WAS SOUNDED BY THE REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT AFTER A RECENT COURT CASE IN WHICH THE OPERATOR OF A BAKERY IN KWAI CHUNG WAS FINED $1 500 IN THE TSUEN WAN MAGISTRACY FOR A RELATED OFFENCE.
AN RSD SPOKESMAN SAID THAT HUNDREDS OF COCKROACHES HAD BEEN FOUND CRAWLING ON THE WALLS AND FLOOR OF THE KITCHEN OF THE BAKERY, DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION CARRIED OUT ON NOVEMBER 25.
UNDER THE LAW, OFFENDERS ARE LIABLE TO A FINE OF $2 000 AND THREE MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT.
