Cockroach infestation and rotten meat result in fine for Otahuhu food business
Hi neighbours,
Boxes of rotten chicken, a cockroach infestation and an unclean shop has resulted in a $45,000 fine for an Auckland food retailer.
U & S Chand Investments, which operates Food 4 Less in Ōtāhuhu, was prosecuted by Auckland Council and pleaded guilty to failing to comply with the Food Act in the Manukau District Court in 2019.
A recently released decision from December said Auckland Council food safety officers first visited the supermarket on March 9, 2018 after receiving a complaint from a customer about unhygienic food storage conditions for meat.
During the inspection, the officers found the premises unclean, a heavy cockroach infestation, boxes of rotten chicken and meat, a “strong foul smell” from the boxes and unlabelled and uncovered food products.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
