HYGIENE RULES STRESSED
****
OPERATORS OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE REGIONAL COUNCIL AREA WERE TODAY (TUESDAY) URGED TO FOLLOW HYGIENE RULES IN THE HANDLING OF FOOD OR FACE PROSECUTION.
THE WARNING CAME FROM THE REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT AFTER A RECENT COURT CASE IN WHICH A RESTAURANT OPERATOR IN TSUEN WAN WAS FINED $1 000 FOR A RELATED OFFENCE IN THE TSUEN WAN MAGISTRACY.
A DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THAT DURING A SURPRISE INSPECTION ON NOVEMBER 15 LAST YEAR, FOUR PIG CARCASSES WERE FOUND ON THE FLOOR AT THE REAR EXIT OF THE RESTAURANT WITHOUT ADEQUATE PROTECTION FROM RISK OF CONTAMINATION.
UNDER THE PROVISION OF THE FOOD BUSINESS (NEW TERRITORIES) REGULATIONS, OFFENDERS ARE LIABLE TO A MAXIMUM FINE OF $2 000 AND THREE MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT.
TO SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC HEALTH
THE SPOKESMAN SAID, THE RSD
WILL CONTINUE ITS ON-GOING EFFORTS TO INSPECT ALL FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE REGIONAL COUNCIL AREA.
