摘要

A former owner of a Black Country butchers has admitted eight food hygiene offences. Asif Riaz, previous owner of Madni Halal Meat, in High Street, Lye, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court last month. It came after environmental health officers from Dudley Council carried out a routine food hygiene inspection in May 2019, where poor standards were discovered and the premises was rated as a zero in the food hygiene scheme. The court heard that cleaning standards were poor, the floor surface in the food room was damaged and unclean, there was no soap provided at the wash basin for washing hands, and the door to the rear yard was left open allowing flies access into the premises.
