Heads up, foodies! 🍽️ Gurnos Kebab House in Merthyr recently landed in hot water after failing food hygiene standards not once, but twice! After an unannounced inspection last January, council officers discovered major lapses like poor cross-contamination control and lack of hygiene training for staff. Yikes! 😬
Despite being slapped with a Food Hygiene Rating of 1 back then, a follow-up visit only revealed that things had gotten worse. The company director, Unal Cetin, faced court on January 21, 2026, admitting to nine breaches of the Food Hygiene (Wales) Regulations 2006. The result? A hefty £12,000 fine to reflect the gravity of these health risks. 💸
Councillor Declan Sammon didn’t mince words, stating that food businesses have a clear legal duty to provide safe food. This stern penalty serves as a wake-up call to all eateries that shoddy hygiene standards simply won’t fly.
Merthyr locals, make sure to keep this little nugget of news in mind next time you’re choosing your takeaway spot! 🍕🥙 #MerthyrEats #FoodSafetyMatters #StayInformed
