Council officers visited Yazz’s Pizza Diner in Oak Lane, Manningham, last year and recorded a catalogue of food hygiene regulation breaches.
Yazz’s owner, Abdul Jaleel Khan, of Bromford Road, Bowling, Bradford, pleaded guilty to 10 offences of breaching food hygiene regulations and one health and safety offence of failing to prevent danger from a burnt out electrical wall socket.
He was fined £2,200 by Bradford magistrates and ordered to pay £1,400 costs and £15 victim surcharge (Case heard. Thursday, 15 March).
In mitigation the court was told that the company had been trading at a loss and that Mr Khan had been off work with a back problem.
The bench was told that Mr Khan had previously been issued with a Notice of Improvement by Environmental Health Officers. Following this, improvements had been made by late 2010 but the premises had deteriorated by May last year.
Following the case, Ruth Lees, Bradford Council Principal Environmental Health Manager, said: “We are determined to ensure that all Bradford’s eating establishments comply with strict hygiene regulations.
“Restaurant owners who ignore good hygiene practices put the health of their customers are risk and that is something we will not tolerate.”
