UK: Restaurant fined £14,000 - (Manchester Evening News)
December 29, 2007 – 4:33 pmIn June 2006, eight people who dined at Fu’s restaurant on Manchester Road, Mossley, suffered food poisoning and contacted Tameside Council environmental health department. Eventually, 12 complaints of salmonella were reported.
Environmental health officers visited, and found cooked duck stored in cardboard boxes where raw poultry had been, dirty chopping boards and no cleaning or drying equipment for the hand basin near the staff toilets.
Directors of the Cantonese restaurant pleaded guilty to eight offences under food hygiene laws at Tameside magistrates’ court Dec. 28/07, and were fined £14,000.
A major shareholder was cited as saying he didn’t ensure staff had sufficient hygiene training because he had been trading 22 years without a problem.
