The boss of a Chinese takeaway in Leeds, UK, has been left with a court bill of more than £4,000 after inspectors found a string of filthy conditions and food safety breaches.

Cau Tuyet Phung, operator of Mr Phungs at 4 Selby Avenue in the Halton area, was called to appear before Leeds magistrates and was found guilty of contravening a number of food safety rules.

He was fined £1,500 and must also pay £2,745.05 in costs and a £50 victim surcharge.

During a routine inspection, environmental health officers found failure to protect food from possible contamination, failure to keep the premises clean, failure to keep items of equipment clean and failure to put in place and implement a food safety management system.
