Offence details

12 offences relating to conditions found at Pepper Chef, Unit 1a & 1b Southside, Hurst Street, Birmingham on three separate occasions.

There was no hot water to the premises and fittings and equipment were dirty, damaged and posed a contamination risk. There were no procedures in place based on HACCP principles and food handlers were not supervised/trained in food hygiene matters commensurate to their work activity. The company failed to comply with two Prohibition Notices prohibiting access to the loft space as the hatch was not suitably guarded, a lip had been installed around the loft hatch which created a trip hazard, and prohibiting the use of the dough roller which was unguarded and available for use by food handlers.
