| Abstract: |
A takeaway owner has been left with a bill for more than £1,300 after falsely claiming his premises had a five-star food hygiene rating. Harpreet Singh, who runs Jim's Golden Fry in Stockton Road, Seaham, was caught out when environmental health officers visited his premises on June 2 last year. One of the officers from Durham County Council picked up a menu flyer at the business as he carried out a food hygiene inspection. He noticed that it contained an image indicating it had been awarded a food hygiene rating of five. It was later found that the business had not been awarded a level five rating since 2012, and in fact had scored a two on its last inspection. |
