A pizza company in St Albans has been fined nearly £10,000 after inspectors said it breached hygiene regulations.

Parizon Limited, which runs Pizza Go Go in London Road, has been fined £4,900 for failing to keep premises and equipment clean and breaching safety regulations.

The City and District Council successfully prosecuted the company for 16 offences after inspecting the premises in November last year. The case was heard by the West Hertfordshire Magistrates’ Court in Watford on Monday (4 Aug).

The court ordered the company to pay the £4,900 and to also make a contribution to the Council’s costs of £5,000. The company was also requested to pay a victim surcharge of £35, totalling £9,935.
