Seven places were graded E for "critical risk" including cockroach infestations and poor cleaning. And another 11 were given a D-grade for reasons including poor cleaning, pest issues and allergen management.
What do the grades mean?
======================
"A D-grade means that faults that are not a critical risk to food safety were found on the premises and intervention by a food safety officer was required," a council spokesperson says.
"E-grades are issued to businesses with critical food safety risks. When a critical risk to food safety is found, the business will immediately close and will reopen when the critical food safety risk has been addressed.

Woman in headscarf told to 'go back to your own country' in aggressive incident in New Lynn

Brian from New Lynn

A New Zealand-Palestinian family say they feel unsafe in public after one of them was shoved and told to "go back to your own country" by a stranger in an Auckland shopping mall. Saja Mahmoud, 17, said she was shopping with her mother Nadia Ali in Lynnmall this afternoon when they were … View moreA New Zealand-Palestinian family say they feel unsafe in public after one of them was shoved and told to "go back to your own country" by a stranger in an Auckland shopping mall. Saja Mahmoud, 17, said she was shopping with her mother Nadia Ali in Lynnmall this afternoon when they were approached by a middle-aged man. "He was swearing. And then he just started shouting at us 'Go back to your country'," Saja said.
The man then pushed Nadia, who was wearing a headscarf, with enough force to knock her off balance. "She was about to fall and I had to catch her," Saja said. Originally from Palestine, the family moved to New Zealand from Syria five years ago. It was the first time they had been racially abused in this country. The altercation lasted a matter of seconds, but left the family rattled. Saja said the incident was particularly hard after the Christchurch mosque shootings in March.
She believed her mother was targeted because of her headscarf.
"We just feel like what happened in Christchurch, it's just not fair. Losing 50 people here, and now nothing was done here. "I just find that racist. I can't be quiet about it. We don't actually feel safe." They were disappointed that police did not take stronger action against their abuser. A photograph taken of the alleged attacker by the family shows a man dressed in black, in a leather jacket, and wearing glasses. The Human Rights Commission said it had received 295 complaints in the last five years which it categorised as anti-Islamic, though it could not say with certainty whether such incidents were becoming more common. The complaints ranged from a student being called a "terrorist" by fellow students to women being barred from shops because they were wearing a hijab. The commission's figures did not cover the period after the attacks in Christchurch.

It comes after Foodstuff last month announced New World, Pak’nSave and Four Square stores in the North Island would accept customers' own containers. "We know that BYO containers are an option many of our customers are looking for in their drive to reduce single-use plastic," Countdown general manager corporate affairs, safety and sustainability Kiri Hannifin said. "We've already received lots of requests from concerned Kiwis wanting us to give them this option. "The priority for us is to ensure that food safety is not compromised and that more waste isn't created as a result. "Part of our service will include training our team, making sure containers are clean and leak proof, and ensuring that containers are weighed correctly to ensure customers are only paying for the weight of the product they've purchased." The new service will be trialled in the Christchurch and Auckland stores before being rolled out nationwide.
