Restaurant Found Guilty of SEVEN Breaches of Food Hygiene Regulations!
The owners of the Nabab Indian Restaurant in Newport were today ordered to pay nearly £6,000 for seven breaches of food hygiene regulations. The breaches included failing to protect food from cross contamination, failing to ensure the food handlers had proper food safety training and even failing to keep the premises appropriately clean. Disturbingly, it was only a few months ago that Tamarind Indian restaurant in Newport was also fined a similar amount of money for food hygiene breaches; Cookenden Ltd, the company that runs the Tamarind, are a sister company to those who run the Nabab.
It’s disgusting that cases like this keep cropping up; keeping the working environment clean and food safe and secure are surely the very basics behind decent food hygiene standards! When you consider how easy it is to ensure to ensure that staff are appropriately trained, it becomes even more pathetic that people just can’t get it right! The food hygiene legislation doesn’t even require that staff attend a formal training course; appropriate training is cheap and easy to find – you can even do it online! Hopefully, the more people that come to understand this, the safer we’ll all be.
