The KFC on the corner of Heaths and Derrimut roads, Hoppers Crossing.
A FAST-food restaurant in Wyndham has been fined $111,000, plus $23,100 in costs, for breaches of the Food Act relating to cleanliness.
The franchisee of KFC at the corner of Heaths and Derrimut roads, Westpark Operations, was successfully prosecuted by Wyndham Council last month.
It pleaded guilty to 11 breaches of the Food Act. The council said these included unsuitable sale of food, unclean premises, unclean food contact surfaces and unclean fixtures, fittings and equipment.
The council said the charges related to breaches in October and November last year.
The restaurant was not closed at any point, and was still operating. It had passed council checks. The council said there were no reports of anyone becoming ill as a result of eating food from the KFC.
The council’s case against Westpark Operations was at Werribee Magistrates’ Court on October 13.
Magistrate Frank Jones convicted and fined the franchiseefined $111,000.
Westpark Operations was also ordered to pay the council’s legal costs of $23,100 in preparing its case.
Westpark Operations chief operating officer Shane Francis said: “We accept that the former management team at KFC Hoppers Crossing (corner of Derrimut and Heaths roads) did not follow internal procedures, which has resulted in these charges.”
Mr Francis said it was a temporary lapse and an external food safety expert had been hired to review its systems. KFC general manager Angus Armstrong said it would continue to work with the franchisee to ensure compliance with food safety systems.
Westpark Operations has until February 8 to pay the fine and costs.
Wyndham Mayor Shane Bourke said the vast majority of food businesses in Wyndham complied with food safety systems.
“Wyndham’s Environmental Health officers are constantly inspecting premises around the municipality,” he said.
“Of the hundreds of premises that our officers inspect, the vast majority are adhering to relevant criteria.” |
