“Please be reminded that when you talk about food safety and the licenses, it’s not a one-off. It’s not that at the beginning of the year you tidy up your premises and get your license, get a tick, get a grading for your restaurant and that’s the end of it.”

Deo says operators need to ensure that premises and facilities are clean and hygienic.

He adds personal hygiene needs to be practiced at all times.
