KFC, the popular chicken fast food chain has been ordered to pay out £18,452 after pleading guilty to a number of food hygiene offenses at the City of Westminster Magistrates Court.

The flagship restaurant located near Leicester Square on Coventry Street pleaded guilty in 2008 after inspectors received numerous complaints.  Upon their visit, inspectors found a cockroach sitting on a chip near where the tongs sit to serve food and takeaway boxes, and dried chicken blood and a dead mouse lying on the floor, and that within the food preparation area there were not any hand wash dispensers fitted.

Head of health, food, and safety at the Westminster City Council, Richard Block, stated that the hygiene standards were unacceptable and appalling especially for a resultant the with the statue of the flagship KFC who should know better.

Block continued to say that the restaurant industry is a very key part of the economy and that they will not put up with any behaviour that would threaten the health and safety of the visitors.  He added that hopefully the fine will send a signal to all restaurant owners that they will take action against any outlet that sacrifices the health of its diners while they eat.
