Latest News - Prosecutions

The call to businesses in the city follows action taken by Swansea Council's Trading Standards Team, which has seen three food business owners fined by Swansea Magistrates in March this year.

Trading Standards carried out a series of test purchase exercises in early 2024. Posing as customers, they placed food orders with a number of restaurants and takeaways, declaring they were allergic to specific food ingredients, including milk, gluten and egg, and asked the businesses to reassure them that their order did not contain those ingredients.

Some of the businesses contacted as part of the test purchase exercise made declarations that the requested food did not contain specific ingredients and were safe for consumption.

Owners at Killay Spice in Killay, Clydach Kebab House and Townhill Spice, have all been fined after pleading guilty to the offence of Placing on the Market unsafe food.

Killay Spice owner, Mr Tafozul Ahmed of Gower Road, was fined £3,000 and was required to pay a surcharge of £1,200 and costs of £2084.

Mr Evren Bozkurt of Clydach Fast Food Ltd (Clydach Kebab House) was fined £200, with an additional surcharge and costs of £2,144.

Mr Abdul Kabir of Townhill Spice Ltd was fined £500 with a surcharge and costs of £2,146.
