OBSERVE HYGIENE RULES, FOOD OPERATORS TOLD

****

FOOD ESTABLISHMENT OPERATORS IN THE NON-URBAN AREAS WERE URGED TO FOLLOW HYGIENE RULES WHEN HANDLING FOOD, OR THEY WOULD BE PROSECUTED.

THE REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT ISSUED THIS WARNING FOLLOWING A RECENT CASE IN WHICH 11 PEOPLE WERE FINED A TOTAL OF $7 450 AT THE TSUEN WAN MAGISTRACY FOR RELATED OFFENCES.

TWO OF THE OFFENDERS, WHO HAD PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS, WERE EACH FINED $1 000, AN RSD SPOKESMAN SAID.

THE PROSECUTIONS WERE THE RESULT OF A TWO-WEEK OPERATION LAUNCHED BY THE RSD IN SEPTEMBER IN TSUEN WAN AND KWAI CHUNG DISTRICTS.

THE SPOKESMAN STRESSED THAT THE DEPARTMENT WOULD CONTINUE ITS EFFORTS TO INSPECT FOOD PREMISES TO DISCOURAGE THE MALPRACTICE.

UNDER THE PROVISION OF THE FOOD BUSINESS (NEW TERRITORIES) REGULATIONS, OFFENDERS ARE LIABLE TO A MAXIMUM FINE OF $2 000 AND AN IMPRISONMENT OF THREE MONTHS, HE ADDED.
