Offence details

22 offences relating to conditions found at Tipu Sultan Catering, 66-68 Summer Lane, Aston, Birmingham on four separate dates. There was no suitable system in place to ensure that accurate information was available, or to verify the allergen content of foods produced on site. Staff had a very poor understanding of allergens. The premises were dirty and in poor condition with rust on surfaces and damaged surfaces throughout. An open packet of flour was being stored in the vacuum packing room below a black bin liner and near where there was evidence of mouse activity. Foods including trays of cooked foods, defrosting foods and ready to eat foods were stored in a walk-in chiller which was designated for the storage of raw products only, therefore resulting in a contamination risk. Equipment was in poor condition. There were no procedures based on HACCP. There was damage to the structure of the premises including the floors and walls. Surfaces were mouldy and rusty. There was no hot water or materials for cleaning hands to the wash hand basin in the main kitchen.
