Personal Injury Solicitors

Islington Council has prosecuted a bakery and its owner for offences including uncontrolled pest activity and incorrect nutritional claims.

Islington Council inspectors found a series of issues at Romeo's Sugar Free Bakery based on Upper Street in Islington when they inspected the premises on 6 July 2015. These included evidence of mouse droppings and a poor standard of cleaning.

Investigations also revealed that the bakery was making incorrect nutritional claims that their products were sugar-free, when they were sweetened with sugar from fruit.

The bakery was also using a sweetener not permitted in baked goods.

At Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court, Islington Sugar Free Bakery Ltd and its owner Romeo Dallh both admitted seven charges involving four food hygiene offences – including one failure to comply with a hygiene improvement notice and two food standards offences relating to the incorrect nutritional claims and the food additive.

The fines and cost for each defendant was £4043.75, with total fines and costs of £8,087.50.

The bakery has agreed to work with council officers to rectify the issues.
