SIXTEEN WA food outlets were publicly named and shamed in an on-line list for breaching health regulations in 2008.
The website currently lists prosecutions that have taken place under the Food Standards Code or WA Health Act, provided on a voluntary basis by local governments.

Eight were within the City of Gosnells and three in the City of Swan.

The fines and costs on those establishments alone were almost $50,000.

The biggest penalties were handed out to the Foodworks Supermarket in Atwell ($7659), La cascade Restaurant in Nedlands ($7500 plus $1750 costs), and Fast Eddy’s Café in Midland ($6000) and $957 costs.

BBH Hot Bread in Stratton breached a number of regulations including not protecting food, lack of temperature control and not clean and sanitary.

Vermin was also found on the premises. Defendants Xen Xon Tang and Thi Le Hoa were fined $4000 each with $950 costs.

The French Hot Bread Shop in Bunbury also copped a $6000 fine plus $1626 costs for the sale and preparation of adulterated food.

Adulterated food is generally considered to be food that has been contaminated so much that it is considered to be unfit for human consumption.
