Hull Takeaway fined for serving broken glass in food
A Hull takeaway has been fined after a customer found broken glass in their food.
Golden Bridge Takeaway, on Hessle Road, served up a stir fried beef with onions that contained a shard of glass from a broken sweet chilli bottle in May 2012.
An investigation by Hull City Council’s Environmental Health Officers revealed the chef, Mr Hai Xiang Li, was aware of the broken bottle but had failed to adequately clean and check the area after the breakage.
Owners F Data Limited and chef, Mr Hai Xiang Li, pleaded guilty of food safety offences at Hull Magistrates Court on Friday 23 November. They were each fined £750 and each required to pay Hull City Council costs of £750, a victim surcharge of £25 and the Court also awarded the victim who purchased the meal a sum of £50.

Councillor John Hewitt, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhoods and Communities, said: “This was a very serious matter and the consumer was placed at a great risk of major injury, thankfully the glass was discovered on the plate before being eaten.”
He added, “Simple precautions were not taken after the breakage to clean the surrounding areas and to dispose of the open food around the breakage area.”

“"unified"
I just cannot understand why you would continue to use a food establishment so slipshod as to comtaminate food with a sliver of glass. This shop needs to be avoided at all costs!!!! Are you mad?”

“Hmm, so the court gets £750 and so do Hull City Council , yet the person who could've been injured by the glass gets only £75 ! Think I'd be a bit miffed if I were that person .”

“It will be amazing how many people who have commented on this actually use this take away, and try to raise standards in their local one. OOoooo, will it be none? Typical, just the plebs then eh?
Pathetic”

“A few years ago I bought a bag of rice from a shop in Prince's Avenue that is well known for its eastern and oriental foodstuffs. Whilst in the shop, I noticed that many of the jars and bottles of pickles, sauces and other ingredients were over a year past their sell-by dates. On returning home and opening the bag of rice I found a mummified mouse. I took the bag with the mouse to Trading Standards in Witham but heard no more.”
