Cockroach infestation and rotten meat result in fine for Otahuhu food business

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

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.
