SEREMBAN: A fast food restaurant in Seremban 2 here was ordered by the state Health Department to close for two weeks beginning Thursday due to poor hygiene at the premises.
Negri Sembilan health director Dr Abdul Rahim Abdullah said the restaurant was found to have pest control issue after a customer found a cockroach in a chocolate drink, which she claimed she bought from the premises on Tuesday.
"We carry out inspections today after the picture of the chocolate drink went viral on social media," he said in a statement Thursday.
The cleanliness of the restaurant was found to be at 57.5% and it was ordered to close for 14 days under Section 11 of the Food Act 1983, he said.
However, Dr Abdul Rahim said the restaurant could appeal after the cleanliness issue had been resolved.
He also said a restaurant in Bandar Baru Nilai was inspected following complaints that worms were found in its chili sauce.
He said the inspection carried out on Monday found that the storage for the uncooked food at the premises was in unsatisfactory condition.
The Department issued the restaurant with a compound of RM1,000 under Section 32B of the Food Hygiene Regulations 2009. - Bernama
