A BARNSLEY shopkeeper has been ordered to pay more than £2,000 after he was prosecuted for food safety offences - including selling products that were not labelled in English.
Headi Ibrahim, who used to trade from Hoyland Mini Market on King Street, appeared at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court last week for charges dating back to December.
He pleaded guilty to three offences under the Food Safety Act 1990 and the Food Safety and Hygiene Regulations 2012.
He was ordered to pay £2,276 for these offences.
Coun Wendy Cain, cabinet spokesperson for public health and communities, said: “In Barnsley, we’re committed to keeping our communities safe, working hard across our teams to make sure residents can feel confident the products they buy meet legal standards.
“We work closely with businesses to make this possible, providing information to help them understand their responsibilities and issuing warnings where they can correct errors.
“Our recent prosecutions show how seriously we take our responsibility to protect our communities and stop potentially dangerous products from being on sale before further harm can occur.”
