Catersearch reports that Leicester Square KFC faces 13 food hygiene charges. The company is being prosecuted after environmental health inspectors reported finding cockroaches, mice and flies at one of its busiest UK restaurants. The article states that
"Officials from Westminster Council said that a cockroach scurried across a counter when they visited the fast food outlet in Leicester Square, central London. They claimed a mouse was seen running across the floor and flies buzzed around their heads at the Coventry Street premises.
In a separate case, a restaurateur in central London has been fined £28,000 for a series of food hygiene breaches including countless sightings of rats, mice and cockroaches. The owner of the Jin Korean Restaurant in Soho pleaded guilty to eight counts of health and safety breaches after inspectors from Westminster Council took him to court. Inspectors found a cockroach crawling inside a saucepan in the restaurant kitchen as well as a decaying mouse which was found in a lift shaft.
The court was told that raw chicken was stored next to salad and defrosting fish in open buckets on the floor. Kitchen staff did not wash their hands before or after cooking and were unable to explain how to clean the premises. Restaurant owner Myoung Kim and manager Uoong Shin both pleaded guilty were fined £28,000 and £8,000 respectively."
