A Bassendean lunch bar and a Perth wholesale food manufacturer have become the latest food businesses to be named and shamed for failing to meet WA health standards.
West Road Deli in Bassendean was fined $15,000 this month for failing to keep food at the right temperatures, store food correctly, keep pests from entering the premises and keep equipment clean.
The deli has been ordered to pay the fine following an inspection by Town of Bassendean health officers on 24 January 2017.
Meanwhile, wholesale food manufacturer Austone Foods Pty Ltd - operating out of a building signed Wu Ming's Food - and its director Ping Ming Wu, have received a whopping $275,000 in fines plus $9000 in costs for a string of non-compliance issues which occurred at its Canning Vale premises four years ago.
