Burger King, Carrefour fall foul of food-safety laws
Print Edition
Burger King, Carrefour and South Memory were among firms found in violation of the city’s food and market ordinances.
The Xinzhuang branch of Burger King was given a warning by the food watchdog after a whistle-blower found cockroaches in the kitchen in May, officials with the Minhang District Administration for Market Regulation said.
The restaurant has since been thoroughly cleaned based on the orders of authorities and staff have been given extra training, mitigating the violation, and resulting, therefore, in only a warning.
