Cockroach infestation and rotten meat result in fine for Otahuhu food business
Hi neighbours,
Boxes of rotten chicken, a cockroach infestation and an unclean shop has resulted in a $45,000 fine for an Auckland food retailer.
U & S Chand Investments, which operates Food 4 Less in Ōtāhuhu, was prosecuted by Auckland Council and pleaded guilty to failing to comply with the Food Act in the Manukau District Court in 2019.
A recently released decision from December said Auckland Council food safety officers first visited the supermarket on March 9, 2018 after receiving a complaint from a customer about unhygienic food storage conditions for meat.
During the inspection, the officers found the premises unclean, a heavy cockroach infestation, boxes of rotten chicken and meat, a “strong foul smell” from the boxes and unlabelled and uncovered food products.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
