THESE are some of the disgusting scenes hygiene inspectors found when they visited a Halesowen takeaway. And the council have warned that their prosecution of the owner - who ended with fines and costs of more than £2,600 – is a ‘clear message’ that owners of food premises must take their responsibilities seriously. We have already reported how employer Jamall Khan, aged 26, from Birmingham, admitted 18 breaches of hygiene and health and safety regulations at Figaro Pizza (see our original report here: https://www.halesowennews.co.uk/news/19008263.figaro-pizza-court-hygiene-offence/ ) Now Dudley Council have issued these pictures to show just how bad they found conditions at the Peckingham Street takeaway.
Figaro Pizza. Picture: Google Maps A MAN running a Halesowen takeaway has been fined more than £2,500 for 18 hygiene or health and safety offences. The Figaro Pizza takeaway in Peckingham Street was still listed as only having a 1 in 5 hygiene rating from council inspectors months after the offences were committed. It is now temporarily closed because of Covid, but a new prospective owner who plans to re-open has promised to ‘sort out’ the problems. At Dudley Magistrates Court last week Jamall Khan, aged 26, of Birmingham, admitted a string of health and hygiene offences at the takeaway which left the restaurant open to food contamination.
