Huge fine for restaurant owner after dirty kitchen, unsafe oven and out of date food found
Out of date food and a dirty kitchen have led to a food business being ordered to pay more than £27,000 in fines and costs.
Out of date pork legs, failing to keep surfaces clean, a lack of food safety procedures and not ensuring food was protected from contamination were all found by food inspectors when they visited The Koyla Kitchen in Thorns Road, Brierley Hill, in January last year.
Parent company K2JY Limited was in the dock at Dudley Magistrates Court last Wednesday, where owner Inderjit Kaur Pandher admitted four counts of failing to comply with food safety and hygiene regulations and one charge of failure to discharge general health, safety and welfare duty to employee on behalf of the firm.
Inspectors from Dudley Council found bosses had failed to implement procedures to ensure food safety and protect it from contamination, as well as poor standards of cleanliness when they visited on January 24 2022.
