Six of these points were for failing to register an assistant.

Depending on their track record, a food establishment that accumulates 12 demerit points within 12 months may have their licence:
Spices & Curries must now ensure all food handlers working on the premises reattend and pass the Food Safety Course Level 1.
They won’t be allowed to resume work as food handlers until they do so.
Additionally, the licensee needs to ensure that all food hygiene officers working on the premises, if any, reattend and pass the Food Safety Course Level 3.
SFA reminded food operators to observe good food and personal hygiene practices at all times.
This includes engaging only food handlers who are registered.
Firm action will be taken against violators of the Environmental Public Health Act, they warned.
If any members of the public come across poor hygiene practices in food establishments, they’re advised to not patronise them.
Instead, they should report the outlet to SFA via their online feedback form or call the SFA Contact Centre at 68052871, including details so they can follow up on the investigations.
