Kebab Shop Fined For Food Hygiene Offences

A west Belfast kebab house has been fined a total of £400 for food hygiene offences.

Mohammed Javel, owner of Moghul Kebab House on the Andersonstown Road, was also ordered to pay costs of £69 at Belfast Magistrates Court.

Following a routine inspection of the premises on July 3, 2013, mice droppings were observed in the storage area, in contact with food and on the table used to prepare food. The officer concluded there was an active mice infestation and the defendant voluntarily closed the premises until all pest activity was eradicated.

The prosecution was brought by Belfast City Council.
