Food vending closed down by TEATT…
Two food outlets, one on Illidge Road and the other, near the stop light at the Prince Bernard Bridge, were closed Friday by the ministry of TEATT and VSA Jointly. A control was carried out by the respective Ministries to enforce the National Ordinance on Public Street Trade and the Establishment Regulations for Businesses with the aim of verifying if businesses are operating according to their issued business permit and the stipulated conditions.
According to a release both establishment were found to have failed their right to operate, due to the operators not having a permit for the activities being carried out and persons found working in the establishment lacked the necessary Food Handler’s Certificate along with other public health infractions.
Additionally, two undocumented nationals were found working at one of the vending locations and were handed over to Immigration and Border Patrol. Officials from TEATT and VSA met with the persons responsible for the operations on site and advised them on what steps to take in order to rectify the violations found.
