A chain dumpling restaurant in Hong Kong has recently faced serious hygiene issues. In one branch, the Canton Hill store, insect activity was discovered inside a lit signboard. Meanwhile, the Mong Kok branch reportedly witnessed three mice entering the floor area after closing hours, even climbing onto bowls. The scene sparked online discussions and concerns about food safety. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) dispatched officers to the Mong Kok branch on the sixth and found poor hygiene conditions and potential rodent problems. They have filed an inspection report and issued a "notice for improving cleaning and repairs" to the restaurant owner. The scope of follow-up inspections has been extended to the surrounding areas, with four additional notices sent. Previously, the FEHD did not receive any complaints regarding rodent issues from the two licensed premises in the past year. The FEHD has also inspected the Cannon Hill branch, noting that no insect infestation was apparent. However, light uncleanliness was identified, leading to a notice to the operator to comply with regulations. Officers advised the restaurant owner to regularly carry out pest control measures to ensure food and environmental hygiene. >>>SPLIT>>> According to the FEHD, the lack of hygiene and rodent problems at the Mong Kok branch led to the immediate filing of charges against the restaurant owner. Similar hygiene failures at the Cannon Hill branch prompted a notice, indicating the need for regular pest control to address potential issues. This incident highlights a growing concern over food hygiene in Hong Kong, especially as food safety remains a top priority for both regulators and the public.
