“The Mid-Autumn Festival comes around again every year.” For some “small shops” selling mooncakes, the approach of the reunion festival may make them more likely to attract the attention of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD). Kei Lung Cha Chaan Teng on Boundary Street in Prince Edward was visited yesterday (17th) by FEHD officers, after the restaurant received a Buildings Department notice last week saying that its 20-year-old shopfront sign was an unauthorized building structure that had to be removed at its own expense. The FEHD visit followed a report alleging that Kei Lung Cha Chaan Teng was manufacturing mooncakes without a licence, but nothing was ultimately found. Less than 200 metres away, the grocery store “As One”, opened by former district councillor Kong Wai Chu, also sells mooncakes. After inspecting the store, FEHD officers did not issue a formal summons, but required the business to submit records of the movement of its mooncake supplies by this Friday (19th). It is understood that several other businesses selling mooncakes, including “Sin Sum Provision Store”, were also inspected yesterday. The Collective Base asked the FEHD about the operation and received the following reply: “The Department has always conducted investigations in accordance with the law and based on intelligence and other relevant factors. If there is sufficient evidence, prosecutions will be initiated.”
「一年容易又中秋」，對部份有售賣月餅的「小店」而言，臨近團圓好日子，或更易引來食環署注視。位於太子界限街的基隆茶餐廳，繼上周收到屋宇署指，沿用廿年店面招牌屬僭建物需自行清拆後；餐廳昨日（17日）有食環署職員登門，原因是接報稱基隆茶餐廳無牌製造月餅，惟最終無發現。 不足 200 米之外、由前區議員朱江瑋開設的雜貨店「如一」也有賣月餅，食環職員巡查後沒正式票控，但要求商戶於本周五（19日）前提交月餅貨源的進出記錄。據了解，昨日另有數間擺買月餅的商戶被查，包括「膳心辦館」。 《集誌社》就相關行動向食環署查詢，獲回覆指，「本署一向會根據法例並按情報及其他相關因素作出調查，如有足夠證據，會提出檢控。」
