A takeaway restaurant in Sydney was fined $97,500 after health inspectors found dead rats in the kitchen, a cockroach infestation and "accumulated grime".
The owners of the business pleaded guilty to 13 counts of failing to comply with the Food Standards Code. The council asked the Magistrate to hand down a strong penalty against the operators that would deter other food business owners who put public health at risk.
“The defendant company has placed members of the public at a greater risk of injury, illness, serious disease or death purely for commercial gain” The City said in documents handed to the court.
"The outcome of this case should serve as a warning to food businesses who don’t follow the rules and who put people’s health at risk" City of Sydney chief executive officer Monica Barone said.
